Subject: partman-auto-crypto: please allow waiving erase operation during guided partitioning

Date: Thu, 23 Nov 2006 16:40:46 +0100

Package: partman-auto-crypto
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

when using d-i RC1, and doing guided partitioning (LVM with crypto),
there does not seem to be a possibility to prevent the erase data
operation from happening.

This is bad when installing to a vmware, since the virtual disk file
is going to expand to its maximum size during that operation.

The only workaround seems to be manual partitioning, which is a pain
due to the complexity of the desired setup.

Please consider adding a possibility to have an extra confirmation
step before the erase operation starts.

Greetings
Marc
