In the display of partitions, "/dev/sdb8" was not shown as encrypted.
I guess that this was the root of the problem: It did not detect it as encrypted. And from there on, things went downhill.
And yet it knew that "/dev/sdb8" was already formatted with "ext4". It could not know that without seeing it as encrypted.
Just a wild guess: There are three prompts for encryption passwords in the logs; that means you are using three different passwords for those encrypted devices.
Actually, no. They all have the same encryption key. However, I did not like what I was seeing, so I used clicked "back" and retried a couple of times. And it seemed to undo the cryptsetup that it had already done, so prompted me again. I should also note that there are 4 encrypted partitions: /dev/sda5 and /dev/sdb5: these are both encrypted LVMS. /dev/sda8 and /dev/sdb8: these are both "ext4" file systems on top of the LUKS encryption. The installer seemed to handle "/dev/sda5" and "/dev/sdb5" correctly. But it appeared to mishandle "/dev/sda8" and "/dev/sdb8".
But I don't think we can spare the resources to fix this pretty complex scenario in the old code as well. So we will have to ask for your patience for the fix in the great, shiny new storage-ng.
Fair enough. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
