Not sure how common it is for anyone to actually do this - it's a heck of a footgun, since you may well (depending on exact layout config) not be able to enter the passphrase on boot - but since it's a crash you can trigger from the installer (both old and new UI), let's propose it as a Beta FE. +3 in https://pagure.io/fedora-qa/blocker-review/issue/1200 , marking accepted. Also proposing as a Beta blocker. There's a case for this under "When using both the installer-native and the blivet-gui-based custom partitioning flow, the installer must be able to: ... Encrypt newly-created storage volumes ... Reject or disallow invalid disk and volume configurations without crashing.", I think. Discussed during the 2023-08-28 blocker review meeting: [0] The decision to classify this bug as an "AcceptedBlocker (Beta)" was made as it violates the following criterion: "When using both the installer-native and the blivet-gui-based custom partitioning flow, the installer must be able to: ... Encrypt newly-created storage volumes", in the case that you include a non-ASCII character in the passphrase (which is easy to do). [0] https://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-blocker-review/2023-08-28/f39-blocker-review.2023-08-28-16.07.txt blocker status is greater than FE status, it doesn't need both. FEDORA-2023-c93a038d4d has been submitted as an update to Fedora 39. https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2023-c93a038d4d Fix confirmed. FEDORA-2023-c93a038d4d has been pushed to the Fedora 39 testing repository. Soon you'll be able to install the update with the following command: `sudo dnf upgrade --enablerepo=updates-testing --refresh --advisory=FEDORA-2023-c93a038d4d` You can provide feedback for this update here: https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2023-c93a038d4d See also https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Updates_Testing for more information on how to test updates.
