Bug#701823: installation-report: Encrypted LVM assisted install failed on Lenovo T430s
Control: forcemerge -1 691427 I believe this is the same problem I experienced with my Thinkpad X230 with 180 GB Intel SSD disk with Lenovo firmware. As far as I can tell, the disk model with the latest Lenovo firmware is broken, and can't handle sustained writes without locking up and disappearing from the SATA bus until you power cycle it. It can happen while writing random data to the disk, but also when doing database operations or writing other stuff to the disk. It affect Windows and Linux users alike. If you never stress the disk, it will probably not fail you, so you might avoid the problem. See http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/The_Thinkpad_is_dead__long_live_the_Thinkpad_X230_.html >, http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/How_to_fix_a_Thinkpad_X230_with_a_broken_180_GB_SSD_disk.html > and http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Intel_SSD_520_Series_180_GB_with_Lenovo_firmware_still_lock_up_from_sustained_writes.html > for my story. I got a replacement disk of a different vendor/model. Btw: Filling an SSD with random data to encrypt it is going to kill performance and reduce the life time of the SSD. You might want to reconsider and not fill it with random data even if you encrypt it. -- Happy hacking Petter Reinholdtsen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

It uses a standalone C program. See http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=d-i/partman-crypto.git;a=tree;f=blockdev-wipe There is a Makefile to just build this small utility. Maybe you can reproduce the error by just calling "blockdev-wipe". But be warned this will wipe your data ;-). The installer calls this with "blockdev-wipe -s 65536 $dev" in lib/crypto-base.sh.

Just to be sure that the hardware issue is indeed fixed. I did two tests which were all successful : badblocks -nvs /dev/sda -> no bad blocks smartctl -H /dev/sda -> PASSED My guess is that SSD disk works properly. At least, it works as long as I don't try to encrypt it (I use the disk on a daily basis). What is the command the installer is using to shred the partion or the disk?

Can you please post the logs of this attempt. Without any logs it's hard
to tell why it failed. The logs you previously posted really look like
it's a hardware issue. Maybe it was not the motherboard which is at
fault after all. If the logs still contain similar kernel errors like:

I suggest you also run a comprehensive harddisk test with some testing
tool like badblocks from a Live CD or from a testing CD provided by your
hardware vendor. Just to be sure that the hardware issue is indeed fixed.

I reproduce the same issue on the same computer with the new motherboard. I tried to encrypt a partition and it failed again at the same step.

Well, I can do a none-encrypted install and that works. But today, a technician has changed the motherboard of the computer in order to solve a wifi issue I had with that computer. So, I will try to reproduce this one more time. I may do it this week-end. Cheers, Raphaël -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
