Package: debian-installer Version: 20121114 Severity: normal Tags: d-i Hi,
if my understanding of partman-crypto's blockdev-keygen's code is correct, one isn't able to preseed the passphrase for encrypted LVM: http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=d-i/partman-crypto.git;a=blob;f=blockdev-keygen (See get_passphrase; also, my experiments seem to agree.) The comments at the top even say: # This handles sensitive data that must not be swapped out # or written out to disk unencrypted. # # Important: before running this script the caller has # to check for unsafe swap partitions. This is done in # choose_method/encrypt/do_options. # # Assumption: This runs as part of d-i. Therefore, temp # files outside of /target reside in a ramdisk. Process # information (think [ "$pass" ]) is not exposed to anyone # but the installing user. If we are to continue disallowing preseeding those parts, I believe it would be nice to have that documented in the example preseed file. Comments anyone?
