Hello! I am trying to create a customized installation disk with the ability to create encrypted root filesystem. In my test installations, I noticed that the filesystem type is not set properly when I choose to reformat filesystems in debian installer.
This is what I am doing: 1. While doing a test install, I use "cryptsetup luksFormat /dev/hdaX" to create an encrypted filesystem. 2. In the next test install, I choose to reformat /dev/hdaX with ext3. 3. When the system reboots after installation, I get the error message that the filesystem could not be mounted causing the boot process to abort, and my preseed/late_command (which runs cryptsetup and copies the system to encrypted partition) is not run. 4. When I try to mount the filesystem manually, I get the error message that filesystem type cyrpto_LUKS in not known. 5. Using "mount -t ext3 /dev/hdaX /mnt" succeeds and "cat /proc/mounts" shows that the filesystem type is actually ext3, so the filesystem was actually reformatted. Any ideas why the filesystem type is considered to be crypto_LUKS even after it was reformatted with ext3? I even tried to set the volume label in the installer, but this did not help either. After I mke2fs manually, the filesystem type is recognized properly again. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
