Bug#597621: installation-reports: installer failed to mount when two or more encrypted partitions were set up
reassign 597621 partman-crypto thanks Quoting Douglas A.

Go to http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer and take care to pick one of the daily builds, preferrably the netboot image (*not* netinst!). I'm sorry, but since the system is already installed and in operation (I formatted the filesystems and created the mounting points manually for the other three partitions after booting), at this time I cannot repeat the installation procedure. Although I didn't use the netboot image, I did use a recent netinst image (from 19-Sep-2010, md5sum: c6cfcaee07d8f96c0afbca177a18068d). Yes...but a recent netinst image is using a quite old D-I release (D-I alpha 1)...which is why I now suggest using recent builds from scratch. Is there something in the installation logs that could be useful? For instance, in installer/syslog there is: Maybe. At this point, the only opportunity we have is reassigning this bug to partman-crypto. Please send the entire D-I logs to the bug report (no need to CC me) if you haven't done it already (I can't check right now, being offline). signature.asc Description: Digital signature

Bug#597621: installation-reports: installer failed to mount when two or more encrypted partitions were set up
tags 597621 moreinfo thanks I did the installation in expert mode. Unfortunately I had two problems concerning the setup of LUKS encrypted partitions and filesystems. The first and critical one was that the installer couldn't setup more than one encrypted partition. Whenever I tried to specify two or more encrypted partitions the installer failed after formatting them, during the mounting phase. It seemed that the installer arbitrarily corrupted the filesystems right after creating/formatting them. I was trying to create four encrypted partitions: /dev/sdb4 (ext4) as /home (see disks layout above), /dev/sdb2 as swap, /dev/sda3 (ext4) as /mnt and /dev/sda2 as second swap. Unfortunately I had to create only one (sdb4) and to leave the remaining three to be done after the system installation. Before this bug report is reassigned to partman-crypto, could you test the daily builds of D-I? Go to http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer and take care to pick one of the daily builds, preferrably the netboot image (*not* netinst!). Suggestion: I would like to suggest that in expert mode the user should be able to choose to continue the installation process even if a previous phase has failed. When I experienced the major issue reported above, I was able to switch to a terminal and create/format/mount the encrypted partitions manually. But unfortunately the installation process didn't let me continue to the next stage because the previous stage had failed. All internal logic of D-I is based on such dependencies. So I very much doubt this happens before a major rewrite of many parts. I don't really see the benefit anyway (at least in real installsthere may be some use cases in D-I development itself but other hacks such as putting exit 0 at the top of the failing component postinst, are often enough signature.asc Description: Digital signature
