https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=361293 Summary: cannot mount encrypted partition Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: Final Platform: i686 OS/Version: openSUSE 10.3 Status: NEW Severity: Critical Priority: P5 - None Component: Basesystem AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: kevin.coonan@gmail.com QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: Customer After the initial install of OpenSUSE 10.3 with a non-encrypted '/' partition and an encrypted '/home/user_name partition' (created using the graphic partitioner) the encrypted partition does not mount, even after correctly supplying the key. The problem is primarily in the created '/etc/fstab'. The original fstab: /dev/disk/by-id/scsi-SATA_HTS721010G9AT00_MPC011Y0G1PB6C-part1 / ext3 acl,user_xattr 1 1 /dev/mapper/cr_sda5 /home/user_name acl,user_xattr,noauto acl,user_xattr,noauto 0 /dev/disk/by-id/scsi-SATA_HTS721010G9AT00_MPC011Y0G1PB6C-part2 swap swap defaults 0 0 proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 sysfs /sys sysfs noauto 0 0 debugfs /sys/kernel/debug debugfs noauto 0 0 usbfs /proc/bus/usb usbfs noauto 0 0 devpts /dev/pts devpts mode=0620,gid=5 0 0 Didn't seem to work so well. If I tried to mount /dev/sda5 I got a unknown filesystem message. When I ran /etc/init.d/boot.crypto start it didn't work as I had hoped. /lib/udev/vol_id -u /dev/sda5 Showed a UUID which was different from the one returned by dumpe2fs /dev/sda5. Seems that there are two UUIDs assigned, ? if one is for the encrypted partition and the other is for the ext3 partition seen by the OS. There also seems to be an extra space before /dev/mapper/... which is probably throwing the parser off. So I used the UUID from dumpe2fs to mount via the UUID (uuid=...), commented out the /dev/mapper/cr_sda5 ... line, and when /etc/init.d/boot.crypto start followed by mount -a things worked. There are a good deal of similar complaints in other forums, none with answers. I suspect I only half finished the job, but at least can read my partition again! -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
