Hi, I'd like to have fully encrypted system with partition table inside of LUKS container. It is easier to manage for me than multi-layer LVM. However, there are 2 issues with this described here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cryptsetup/+bug/1786688 The first issue is that after decryption of LUKS container there is a filesystem check and `get_fstype` function returns `undefined` for any partition table. I'd like it to return `pttable` or something similar instead, so that after decryption it will not lock container back with "unknown fstype, bad password or options?". Patch would look something like this: get_fstype () { local FS FSTYPE FSSIZE RET FS="${1}" # blkid has a more complete list of file systems, # but fstype is more robust FSTYPE="unknown" eval $(fstype "${FS}" 2> /dev/null) if [ "$FSTYPE" = "unknown" ]; then FSTYPE=$(blkid -o value -s TYPE "${FS}") fi - RET=$? + + if [ -z "${FSTYPE}" ]; then + if [ ! -z $(blkid -o value -s PTTABLE "${FS}") ]; then + FSTYPE="pttable" + fi + RET=$? + fi + + RET=$? if [ -z "${FSTYPE}" ]; then FSTYPE="unknown" fi echo "${FSTYPE}" return ${RET} } This would be the first step, after that it would be possible to adjust cryptsetup integration to scan decrypted partition table for partitions with partprobe or kpartx. I don't know how to send patch properly, so redirect me to proper place if this is not the right one.
