Hi folks I’m trying to follow an article¹ on setting up a fully encrypted system for my soon-to-arrive laptop. It and others (e.g. ² in a very condensed form) simply luksFormat a block device, then luksOpen it and run pvcreate on that.
I’ve never used LVM before, it’s only installed as a dependency for various FS tools. Hence, my LVM install is basically pure vanilla. But when I try to follow those articles, I get: kern $ cryptsetup status /dev/mapper/tp /dev/mapper/tp is active. [...] kern $ pvcreate /dev/mapper/tp /run/lvm/lvmetad.socket: connect failed: No such file or directory WARNING: Failed to connect to lvmetad. Falling back to internal scanning. Device /dev/mapper/tp not found (or ignored by filtering). The filter rule in /etc/lvm/lvm.conf simply says the default: filter = [ "r|/dev/nbd.*|", "a/.*/" ] Meaning ‘include everything except /dev/nbd*’. Can you give me a hint what I might be missing? Perhaps I need to set some other of the many options in lvm.conf? Gratefully awaiting any helpful nudge. ¹ https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Sakaki%27s_EFI_Install_Guide/Preparing_the_LUKS-LVM_Filesystem_and_Boot_USB_Key ² http://www.pavelkogan.com/2014/05/23/luks-full-disk-encryption/ -- Gruß | Greetings | Qapla’ Please do not share anything from, with or about me with any social network.
