RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
.Anaconda now uses LUKS2 version as the default for an encrypted container Previously, anaconda did not use LUKS2 version by default to create an encrypted container on the `Manual Partitioning` screen. As a result, the container encryption had LUKS1 version. With this update, anaconda uses LUKS2 version as the default to create an encrypted container on the `Manual Partitioning` screen and now the container has encryption with LUKS2 version.

Description Jan Stodola 2019-09-26 14:39:20 UTC
Description of problem:
When PVs are manually checked to be encrypted during custom partitioning in GUI, anaconda creates LUKS v1 format on the PVs. There is also no choice to select LUKS v1/v2 as for other device types (raw partitions or encrypded LVs)

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
RHEL-8.0 GA
anaconda-29.19.0.40-1.el8

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. start graphical installation
2. proceed to custom partitioning
3. remove existing partitions
4. let anaconda create the partitions (LVM layout)
5. modify the volume group with rootfs and swap (and home)
6. check "Encrypt" in the VG configuration dialog
7. continue with the installation
8. reboot to installed system
9. check the LUKS version:
# cryptsetup luksDump /dev/vda2 | grep -i version

Actual results:
LUKS v1 is used:
[root@localhost ~]# cryptsetup luksDump /dev/vda2 | grep -i version
Version:        1
[root@localhost ~]#

Expected results:
LUKS v2 is used by default:
[root@localhost ~]# cryptsetup luksDump /dev/vdb1 | grep -i version
Version:        2
[root@localhost ~]#

Since it's possible to select LUKSv1/v2 for other types of devices, it should be possible to select the version for PVs as well.

Additional info:
When using encrypted autopartitioning, PVs are formatted with LUKS v2 as expected.

@Alexandra Nikandrova, I have updated the yaml file to include the BZ. You can skip the yaml file updates, and only work on the doc text.

Thanks
Shweta
