[opensuse] Adding existing encrypted partition in YaST after installation
Hey, the day before yesterday, I have finally managed to upgrade to Leap 15. The system works fine! My home partition is fully LUKS-encrypted and while installing Leap 15, YaST asked me to provide the passphrase. I did not provide it because I always install new versions in parallel and migrate the home directory later after having configured the system and tested it. After doing so, I wanted to add the encrypted home partition using YaST. However, I did not find any way to open the encrypted home. I am pretty sure that YaST of Leap 42.3 and before provided the possibility to do so. Could anyone confirm this?

I don't understand. Why use YaST to *open* an already encrypted partition? Just use systemd. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.3 x86_64 "Malachite" at Telcontar)

Without opening I cannot assign /home to the inner filesystem using YaST, the controls are disabled.
Just use systemd.
I want to mount the encrypted home partition automatically as /home. AFAIK, this still needs a crypttab and fstab entry to let systemd open it. Leap 42.3 YaST created the crypttab and the fstab entry for me. I cannot find how to accomplish this using Leap 15 YaST.

I don't call that "opening". I call that "assigning an existing encrypted partition to home", or something of the sort. Well, the yast partitioner in 15.0 has been rewritten and is not complete. That feature may be missing, I don't know for sure. I created an encrypted /home from install day using YaST on this machine. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from openSUSE 15.0 (Legolas))

Yes, that is the second step. But without opening it, YaST cannot see the filesystem and, thus, cannot assign it to a mountpoint. Because of this, the installer asks me for the passphrase.

That is the strange part, YaST still supports creating them but not add existing ones anymore. Gruß Jan -- There's three sides to every story, yours, mine and the cold hard truth. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
