Logical partitions may start at offset 63, what is peculiar that the
partitioner, created offset 2 and a free space of 61 sectors, which
really is not free, 61+2 equals 63 that would be the right offset

Hello List,
I am testing Wheezy on a separate partition of my hard disk.
The partitions I told the installer to use are,
/dev/sda5 as root / mount point, and
/dev/sda6 as swap
Now to the question, why the partition starts at offset #2 while I would
expect #63?
PLEASE NOTE 61 sectors shown as

Hi Alexander,

I've used cryptsetup with luks options, saved new data, rebooted my
system, asked about passphrase in the boot level, and now I have mounted
my crypto partition with saved data.
That's what I did step by step:
1. I've added modules: aes, dm_mod, dm_crypt, to /etc/modules
2. Created the cryptog

Hi Cassiano!
You've written:

Alexander,
a far as I know the mapping should be recreated each time you reboot
using /sbin/cryptsetup. We are using luks extension and at each reboot
we need to issue cryptsetup luksOpen .
Then we can mount /dev/mapper/mappername.
Hope this help,

I was trying to encrypt my ext3 partition /dev/hda6, that's what I did:

Did you create a "swap filesystem" on the partition?

I have a 1Gb primary swap partition (/dev/sda1)
and fdisk -l shows that. But the command
# swapon /dev/sda1
says that ..:/dev/sda1: is invalid argument.
I made an entry in /etc/fstab (too):

but swapon -a still syays that it is invalid argument!

In this case, you probably want /dev/sda2 to appear before /dev/sda1 in
the fstab file because filesystems are mounted in order by line number.
If "/foo" is mounted after "/foo/bar", then "/foo/bar" will not be

I've been using Mandrake, but want to try using Debian. Mandrake puts the
kernel in /boot. So it was nice to make /boot one partition and / in another.
I tried installing 2.2 but couldn't figure out how to make the installer do
that. Any suggestions?

You don't have to change the name of your partitions (in fact, it does nothing).
