- boot.crypto was removed without giving an alternative. The page http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Encrypted_filesystems enplanes how to "Manually creating new LUKS volumes", but above it says "In openSUSE 12.3 the boot.crypto scripts are no longer available as they were obsoleted by the systemd implementation." However there is no way to encrypt the / during install (it says "/ cannot be encrypted).
Was it possible in previous versions?
Not during installation.
How boot.crypto can be related to whole root encryption? Root must be decrypted before any service can run.
In the link above it is explained. I used to install "normal" using the partition that later would become /home for the system root, then encrypted the partition that would become /, rsyncing the system to there and adjusting cryptotab, fstab etc... A bit time eating, but working perfectly.
- using a LVM is not possible in my case (on a Mac Powerbook) because I MUST prepare the partitions with the Max OSX Disk Utility, otherwise I cannot boot. But the installer doesn't let me use those partitions, just says that there is no space to create an LVM.
Did you try expert mode and manually create PV from partitions?
I tried using the partitioner of the installer but it does not offer to create a LVM volume group, just "normal" partitions. -- Daniel Bauer photographer Basel Barcelona professional photography: http://www.daniel-bauer.com google+: https://plus.google.com/109534388657020287386 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
