So I've been playing with setting up Block Device Encryption in anaconda
for 5.3, since it was announced that it is now supported in the System
Admin Guide.
Despite the fact that the so-called Disk Encryption Guide in the RHEL
5.3 Installation Guide is supposed to have information on how to do this
in Anaconda, it has no such thing. After much trial and error, I've got
it to the point that I have created the partitions and set up the
encryption in the %pre section, but I get stuck when I try to get
anaconda to recognize the partition in the Disk partitioning stage.
So my big questions How do I get the part command to recognize
alternative locations (i.e. other than hda, sda, etc) for disk partitions?
So, for example, if I set up a dm-crypt partition at
/dev/mapper/rootvol, how would I get anaconda to partition it? I have
tried commands like:
part / --noformat --size=17100 --onpart=/dev/mapper/rootvol
or
part / --noformat --size=17100 --onpart=mapper/rootvol
and neither work.
I'm hoping EL 5.4 will have the FC11 anaconda stuff in it. It looks
like that has all of the hooks for dm-crypt already within it.
Thanks for any help you can give.
