Hi!
According to this: http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Encrypted_root_file_system it used to be possible to encrypt the whole / partition in 11.4. However, I'm trying to install 12.1 on old laptop and during installation I get error saying that "you have assigned an encrypted file system to a partition with one of the following mount points: /, /usr, /boot, /var. This is not possible. Change mount point or use a nonloopbacked file system."
Is full disk enryption not supported anymore?
I ignored the manuals that the page above points to and tried to go with Yast. I selected LVM with encryption. Then I resized the partition (at this point Ext4) to be as big as possible (as YaST left quite a lot of empty space). Then I changed the root partition to be btrfs (after reading http://www.mayrhofer.eu.org/ssd-linux-benchmark and figuring that it should be better option for the SSD). Everything seemed fine, until: Failure in mounting /dev/system/root to / System error code was: -3003 /bin/mount -t btrfs -o acl,user_xattr '/dev/system/root' '/mnt': mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/mapper/system-root, missing codepage or helper program, or other error. In some cases useful info is found in syslog -try dmesg | tail or so Continue deespite the error? Doesn't sound wise. I don't even know how to get to prompt from here to see anything from the messages. Is encryption really not working anymore on 12.1? I'm installing on old Lenovo X301 with SSD and I'm installing from USB stick and 64-bit network image. -- HG. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
