As discovered by vtrefny in investigating my https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2234518 report, libblockdev now crashes when you set an encryption passphrase with characters outside the extended ASCII range: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2234518#c4 Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: from gi.repository import BlockDev; BlockDev.init() BlockDev.CryptoKeyslotContext(passphrase="дддддддд") Actual Results: OverflowError: Item 0: 1076 not in range 0 to 255 Expected Results: it should work.
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).

blocker status is greater than FE status, it doesn't need both.
