Public bug reported: Under Ubuntu 16.04, installing root (/) into an Ext4 formatted LUKS partition creates /dev/dm-0, rather than /dev/mapper/sdaX_crypt.
On the other hand, installing root (/) into a Btrfs formatted LUKS partition creates /dev/mapper/sdaX_crypt, rather than /dev/dm-0. I'm under the impression that it is more appropriate to create /dev/mapper/sdaX_crypt, rather than /dev/dm-0, when installing root (/) into a LUKS partition. See https://www.redhat.com/archives/linux- lvm/2009-August/msg00010.html Whether this raises to the level of a bug, I'm not sure. But it certainly is peculiar that ubiquity performs correctly when installing root (/) into a Btrfs formatted LUKS partition, but performs incorrectly when installing root (/) into an Ext4 formatted LUKS partition. If truly a bug, I hope that it will be fixed before the release of U1604. Also, this bug may be related to Bug #1523194. ** Affects: ubiquity (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1531387 Title: U1604: Installing root (/) into an Ext4 formatted LUKS partition creates /dev/dm-0, rather than /dev/mapper/sdaX_crypt To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/1531387/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
