Bug#646704: debian-installer: installer doesn't write /etc/crypttab for crypt+LVM
Package: debian-installer
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
I installed today a debian stable with debian-6.0.3-rescue-amd64.
I tried to use crypt+LVM, with / and /home in a Volume Group on a
crypted partition (/dev/sda6).
Hower the installation finishes well, boot on the fresh install is
impossible because initrd doesn't find this crypted Volume Group.
The problem is solved with the add of a line of this type
in /etc/crypttab :
crypted_volume UUID=XXXXX-XXXX-XXX-XX.... none luks
and a rebuild of initramfs. (I updated the kernel 2.6.32 -> 3.0.0-1
too.)
It's strange that Debian installer doesn't handle this step of the
process, and make the installation unusable !
Maybe there is an error because I've put my /boot on a VG too,
but the GRUB was fine with that and all works perfectly after the
operations.
Don't hesitate to tell me if you need more informations or some
command(s) result(s).
Bests regards,
Eloi COUTANT
