Encrypted LVM and failed message

[Daniele Guerrieri <d.guerrieri@gmail.com>]

Hi everyone,

 

i' m a new debian user and subscriber to this mailing list.

 

I'd have one or two questions about some weird messages.

 

I installed debian with 'expert install', made an encrypted volume (LUKS-crypt) which requires a passphrase in which subsequently i put an LVM physical volume which cointains some logical volume (root,swap,home).

The LVM volume is called harpsiPool and contains harpsiRoot,harpsiHome and harpsiSwap.

 

Every time I START the system, just before the prompt for passphrase, there are some complaints about the / filesystem: something like "Cannot find harpsiRoot volume" and also mobprobe: unix module not found. So it complains about missing root volume, but is wrapped by the encrypted volume so it should be normal not to have / mounted before inserting the passphrase.. or not? 

However, after inserting the passphrase, everything goes ok and the rest works perfectly.

 

Otherside, every time i STOP the system, there is a fail: stopping early crypto disks failed.

 

Are this two issues related? Are my data safe in this double wrapped container (encrypted->lvm->logical volume->data)?

 

Thank you very much,

Daniele
