[dm-crypt] Kickstart with LUKS

Sirs,
 
  Running RHEL 6... doing a kickstart installation.  How do I use LUKS with the LVM during the kickstart process?
Does the --encrypted and --passphrase options use LUKS?
 
Thanks,
Jim

Sorry, but wrong list to ask. RHEL uses some wrapper 
around cryptsetup and what that does you need to ask 
Red Hat. This list here is only for cryptsetup used
directly.

If you want an example, read docs or do manual install and then read resulting kickstart
file placed in /root dir (you will need to uncomment some options).

You can find docs for RHEL/CentOS 6 easily through Google...
https://access.redhat.com/site/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html/Installation_Guide/s1-kickstart2-options.html

And yes, it uses LUKS, installer should always use aes-xts-plain64 (with AES256).
