Actions

Description

Steps to reproduce:

  • Install PureOS from ISO on a two-disk system
  • When presented with option to encrypt installation medium, say yes

What should happen:

One way to inspect what is on encrypted volumes is typing lsblk in a terminal - volumes in branches off of a *_crypt entry is encrypted.

Suggesting that my second disk (mounted as sda1) is not encrypted. Also opened "Disks" and can see there that the partition is marked as "Ext4" not "LUKS".

I am confused: Did that actually fix the reported issue?

Perhaps I should have been clearer, this was just a query about *how* to check that my second disk is encrypted. You have answered my query so I closed the ticket :)

I expected that it would be encrypted, but since it isn't, I've expanded https://tracker.pureos.net/T403 to mention second-disk-encryption.

ok. Please in future use chat for guidance - or the user support forum, perhaps - as issue tracker is better suited to track issues (bugs and pseudo-bugs like wishlist requests) tied to components of the Operating system.
