Previously YaST did not set any type of root encryption at all. When the feature was requested and implemented, it was thought that it was easier to set up a single LVM container with everything inside, except /boot, so that there is only one partition to ask for the password.
The previous method was manual, without yast, and you can still use it - - but then, yast does not install it, nor upgrade, so it is a problem. The method to set it up is, basically, install on a normal partition, then move it...
You can make yast install to an arbitrary device (just mount it at /mnt when you have the chance to switch to tty2). The partitioner UI will cooperate even if no device has been assigned to the "/" mountpoint - though you need to fix that up before reboot by manually editing fstab, crypttab and mkinitrd. Just make sure the partitioner does not attempt to modify the disklabel again after you did. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
