Description Priscus 2011-11-26 23:19:19 CET
Description of problem:
During the disk partitioning phase of installation (custom partitioning), it is possible to unlock existing encrypted partitions in expert mode, through the "Use" option. 
Once unlocked, encrypted partitions are supposedly available as crypt_sdXY (as told in the partition's information box), but there is no way to do select them (and thus to give them a mount point or to set their options). 
It can be noted that an encrypted swap partition is automatically recognised and used. Only user manipulation seems impossible. 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Mageia2 alpha1 DVD (x86_64 architecture). 
drakx-installer-binaries-1.51-1.mga2.x86_64.rpm
possibly also drakxtools-backend-13.70.1-1.mga2.x86_64.rpm?

How reproducible:
Whenever custom partitioning is chosen. 

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Use a disk with pregenerated encrypted partitions
2. During disk setup, select "custom partitioning"
3. Unlock them ("Use" option of expert mode)
4. No access to the unlocked partitions.

This may be related to 3749. If there is a problem with cryptsetup then that would stop both formatting (as in 3749) and opening (as in this bug).

Yes, it is the same bug. 
I just checked on beta2: it works. 

I'll just mark it as resolved/fixed. 

Thank you.
