Bug#612802: debian-installer: crypted partition assistant should all parameters (FS, mount point) of the partition encrypted
Package: debian-installer
Version: squeeze 6.0
Severity: normal
I wanted to crypt my /home partition at installation.
During the installation process, partition step :
I have a empty disk.
I first choose to partition automatically the disk (/ in ext3, swap and /home
in ext3 created)
Then I use the crypt partitions assistant (The langage used during installation
was french, i don't know what is the english name of the menu item)
I choose to crypt swap and the ext3 partition which mount point is /home.
I configure the swap partition to be encrypted. Ok.
In the screen where I configure the ext3 partition to be encrypted it shows :
"mount point : /home".
Then, after processing, my crypted volumes are :
swap assigned to swap,
ext3 crypted volume : no mount point.
I guess, the ext3 crypted volume should have keeped the /home mount point and
it's a bug.
The user then has to assing manually this partition to /home otherwise debian
installer will warn this partition will not be used.
I suggest the cryt partition assitant remembers all the partitions settings or
none of them when creating a crypted partition from an existing one.
