http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1037911 Bug ID: 1037911 Summary: Installer seemed confused about encrypted partitions Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Distribution Version: Leap 42.3 Hardware: x86-64 OS: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Installation Assignee: yast2-maintainers@suse.de Reporter: nwr10cst-oslnx@yahoo.com QA Contact: jsrain@suse.com Found By: --- Blocker: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:52.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/52.0 Build Identifier: This is from 42.3, Build 0184. I used the DVD installer (written to a USB). For partitioning, I clicked on "create partition ..." and then "custom partitioning". I wanted to install in existing partitions, mostly using an encrypted LVM ("/dev/sdb5"). I'll note that I did provide the encryption key when prompted. Most of that worked. However, I also wanted to use "/dev/sdb8" to be mounted at "/shared". That's an encrypted partition. In the display of partitions, "/dev/sdb8" was not shown as encrypted. I set it to be mounted as "/shared". When I did that, the partitioner showed it as using "ext4", which it could only know by looking inside the encryption. (The display of "/dev/sda8" had similar problems, but I did not plan to use that). When I accepted the partitioning, the summary showed: setup encrypted dm device on /dev/sda8 (that was shown in red) setup encrypted dm device on /dev/sdb8 (that was shown in black) During the install it informed me that volume mount of "/dev/sdb8" failed (trying to mount at "/mnt/shared". The message indicated that the partition was not valid "ext4". So it apparently attempted to mount without handling the encryption. I continued the install, ignoring the error. On the installed system, neither "/dev/sda8" nor "/dev/sdb8" showed up in "/etc/crypttab". I added an entry for "/dev/sdb8", and added the appropriate line to "/etc/fstab", and rebooted. After this reboot, "/dev/sdb8" was properly mounted as "/shared".
From my point of view, it is a minor issue that I could easily deal with. However, it might be confusing to other folk.
