Subject: Re: [dm-crypt] Bug Report to Ubuntu regarding dangerous installer
Date: Sun, 17 Apr 2011 04:16:20 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20110417021620.GA11632@tansi.org> (raw)
There is a bug report about this already in the Ubuntu bug
tracking system here, whih was upgraded to "critical" as
result of my bug report.
http://launchpad.net/bugs/420080
It should get looked at for 11.04 now and hopefully be fixed.
The only thing really needed is a detection of existing
LUKS headers and a strong warning that you will kill them
by proceeding.
For my side this closes the discussion. Any clunky
cryptsetup-integrated backup is not a clean option, as
"luksHeaderBackup" works just fine and avoids numerous
possible problems with the other solutions proposed here.
It just has to be used.
