I recently bought a laptop, and installed Ubuntu 10.10 on it. I have since upgraded to 11.04. I used encrypted LVM.
While doing bare metal backups, I learned that the partition with the encrypted LVM has a partition type of 83 (Linux ext), not 8e (Linux LVM). My bare metal backup code uses the partition type to determine how to handle a partition. It bombs trying to use dumpe2fs to get ext information from the partition, and rightly so. Before I go ahead and change the partition type, does anyone else see this? Is there any reason NOT to change the partition type?
