Bug#716978: Installer does not fill /etc/crypttab
Package: debian-installer
Version: stable
When partitioning with a RAID0, dm-crypt device on top and a lvm volume
inside the encrypted device, the generated initramfs cannot boot
completely because it does not try to decrypt the encrypted device.
Fix: add the dm-crypt device to /etc/crypttab and regenerate the
initramfs
Additional info: This was done on a laptop with 4 ssd.
Each ssd had a 300MB partition, with the one on sda used for /boot.
The rest of the space on each disk is used for the raid array.
The encrypted device is created inside /dev/md0.
A LVM volume is created inside /dev/md0.
There are 2 partitions inside the volume, one for /, one for the swap.
The laptop is a work laptop, so I cannot try another install. I will
however try to reproduce the issue in a virtual machine using qemu.
If there is anything else I can do, please tell me.
If this is the wrong mailing list, I am sorry, and could you please
tell me which one is the right one.
