Public bug reported:
Ubuntu release: Ubuntu Desktop 18.04.2 LTS
Kernel: 5.0.0-36-generic
Storage devices: two NVMe SSDs (1TB and 512GB)
Ubuntu Desktop install – selected the options to use disk encryption and LVM
The largest disk (1TB) is used for the Ubuntu install and this has the device
name /dev/nvme0n1 in the Ubiquity installer. Install completes and upon
rebooting the operating system asks for the encryption passphrase for the LUKS
partition (nvme0n1p3_crypt) which does decrypt as expected.
Now when logging in and running lsblk it shows the LUKS partition to be in the
wrong place. The 1TB disk now has the name nvme1n1 but the LUKS partition on
that disk has the name nvme0n1p3_crypt.
Output of lsblk:
nvme1n1 259:0 0 953.9G 0 disk
├─nvme1n1p1 259:1 0 512M 0 part /boot/efi
├─nvme1n1p2 259:2 0 732M 0 part /boot
└─nvme1n1p3 259:3 0 952.7G 0 part
└─nvme0n1p3_crypt 253:0 0 952.7G 0 crypt
├─ubuntu--vg-root 253:1 0 930.4G 0 lvm /
└─ubuntu--vg-swap_1 253:2 0 976M 0 lvm [SWAP]
nvme0n1 259:4 0 477G 0 disk
The LUKS partition doesn’t appear to under nvme0n1p3 but it does on nvme1n1p3
which can be seen when running a luksDump command.
Output of luksDump:
root@USERPC:~# cryptsetup luksDump /dev/nvme0n1p3 | grep -i "slot 0"
Device /dev/nvme0n1p3 doesn't exist or access denied.
root@USERPC:~# cryptsetup luksDump /dev/nvme1n1p3 | grep -i "slot 0"
Key Slot 0: ENABLED
The implications of this so far in my case is not being able to find the
correct LUKS partition device name via custom scripts to populate/modify
key slots (e.g. 'dmsetup ls' returns the device name nvme0n1p3_crypt).
There has not been an issue with Ubuntu decrypting the disk before the
login screen.
