Package: partman-md Version: 67 Severity: normal Hi, maintainers,
Want to share a minor inconsistency when using crypto on top of RAID, mostly related to rescue mode. First, what works and should be expected, a normal crypto volume, no RAID: * Rescue mode * After selecting time zone d-i notices there is an encrypted volume I am prompted to enter a passphrase for it if I want to have it available for rescue operations. That is the expected behavior. However things work differently when the encrypted volume is on top of a RAID (RAID1 in this case). * Rescue mode * Get the "Device to use as root file system" dialog, known partitions shown, no RAID is still assembled and of course nothing inside it is shown, just plain /dev/sd* stuff. * I choose "Assemble RAID array", tick Automatic and proceed. * However, although a crypto volume is on top of that RAID, that seems not detected and I am not prompted for a passphrase to enable it for rescue. Of course I can open a shell, enable luks volume and the lvm logical volumes it contains, go back and continue, now with all really available choices including those inside the crypto volume. I'd expect the same check that is automaticaly done when the encrypted volume is not on top of a RAID be run right after assembling the RAID so the contents of the encrypted volume (single partion or lvm stuff) become available for the rescue session in a simpler way if the passphrase is provided. PS: I put version as 67 since it is what is currently in testing. I actually carried out the tests with an installation image created out of debian-testing-i386-CD-1.jigdo 2013-10-14 from http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/weekly-builds/i386/jigdo-cd/ so the actual version may differ. Regards, and thanks for all your work. -- Agustin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
