Bug#501950: debian-installer: Cannot remove encrypted volume for modifying underlying partitioning
Package: debian-installer
Severity: minor
I installed yesterday lenny with snapshot installer. Installation was
mostly very smooth. Thanks for your great work!
However I created first RAID devices using my disks fully, and then
created encrypted volume on top of RAID devices. Then I noticed that I'd
forgotten to create non-encrypted boot partition, and I tried to remove
created volumes, and change partition table under RAID devices. I did
not find such options, LVM volume groups can be deleted, but encrypted
volume cannot be from installer. (I had to reboot and start partitioning
from scratch to fix my mistake.)
PS. It would also be nice if guided partitioning options could be used
for encrypted volumes or LVM volume groups, not only for physical
disks. That would make it faster to create standard partitions after
advanced partition management is ready.
