When it asked for the passphrase:
> Enter key or passphrase ("/dev/sda3"):
did you enter the right passphrase there?
The problem is that, when opening the LUKS partition, a "random" mapname is generated for them, so later then when trying to resolve the mount points in fstab the mapping specified is not found (and thus the errors about /dev/mapper/my_test above, for example). Ideally, we need to parse crypttab to get the proper mapname -- luckly augeas seems to support it already. (In reply to Richard W.M. Jones from comment #1) > When it asked for the passphrase: > > > Enter key or passphrase ("/dev/sda3"): > > did you enter the right passphrase there? Yes,the passwd is right. And thanks for Pino's explanation. I wonder if we still need this bug. Virt-v2v has supported LUKS for a while. We also have: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1809453 "[RFE] Add support for LUKS encrypted disks with Clevis & Tang" (In reply to Richard W.M. Jones from comment #4) > I wonder if we still need this bug. Virt-v2v has supported LUKS for > a while. Yes, we do need this bug, as the situation described in the bug (LUKS partitions with mapping described in /etc/crypttab) is not supported by libguestfs yet. > We also have: > https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1809453 > "[RFE] Add support for LUKS encrypted disks with Clevis & Tang" This is something completely different, and unrelated, from this bug. |
