Package: debian-installer Severity: normal Steps to reproduce:
* Boot D-I and select manual partitioning. * Create and activate a software RAID array. * Choose "Use as: physical volume for encryption" for the array. * Activate the encrypted volume. Problem description: The partitioner treats the resulting encrypted volume like a raw hard drive -- it wants to put a partition table on it, and there's no way to use it directly as e.g. swapspace or a physical volume for LVM. A clearer indication that something is wrong: highlight the RAID array which is being used as the "physical volume for encryption" and press Enter. Rather than alerting the user that it can't be modified because it's in use by the encrypted volume, its properties page opens, and it shows "Use as: do not use". I observed this problem in the November 9 daily build. The beta3 installer doesn't have this problem, and works as expected -- I successfully set up a system using LVM on dm-crypt on RAID using beta3. -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (990, 'unstable'), (800, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.18 Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
