Package: debian-installer Version: testing Netinstall CD AMD64 2009-03 Severity: critical Justification: causes serious data loss
When having to reinstall a system with an encrypted root-partition, the installer gives no means to reuse a physical colume for encryption which has already been set up in a previous install. The user isn't warned and the data contained in the encrypted volume will be killed without notice, even if the same password is supplied. I suggest to give the user the option of reusing the encrypted device or at least give a big fat warning that his data will be killed, if he proceeds one step further. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-2-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.ISO-8859-15, LC_CTYPE=en_US.ISO-8859-15 (charmap=ISO-8859-15) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
