I started report at Bug #1531387 to expand on comment #1 above. I don't know what, if any, relation Bug #1531387 has to the current bug, but here's a summary of Bug #1531387:
1) Installing root (/) into an Ext4 formatted LUKS partition creates /dev/dm-0, rather than /dev/mapper/sdaX_crypt. 2) Installing root (/) into a Btrfs formatted LUKS partition creates /dev/mapper/sdaX_crypt, rather than /dev/dm-0. The above seems odd to me. And as I wrote before, I'm under the impression that, unless working with LVM, 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 But whatever the case, if the bug that prevents installing home (/home) into a separate LUKS encrypted volume can be fixed, it would seem best if root (/) were installed into /dev/mapper/sdaX1_crypt and home (/home) were installed into /dev/mapper/sdaX2_crypt. Or perhaps root (/) into /dev/dm-0 and home (/home) into /dev/dm-1. But root (/) into /dev/dm-0 and home (/home) into /dev/mapper/sdaX_crypt would seem odd. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1523194 Title: Can't install /home into separate LUKS encrypted volume To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/1523194/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
