[LUKS] Multiple devices crypdevices

Hi,

I've got two disks and I've created a LVM with these disks and merge them in a two crypdevices.
here's the scheme

/dev/sda1 -> LVM -> LUKS sda1_c -> MOUNTPOINT /home
/dev/sdb1 -> BOOT -> MOUNTPOINT /boot
/dev/sdb2 -> LVM -> LUKS sdb2_c -> MOUNTPOINT /dev/mapper/cr-home /dev/mapper/cr-swap /dev/mapper/cr-root

(I read this post https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=827495, we've to separate the cryptdevice by coma.

APPEND root=/dev/mapper/cr-root cryptdevice=/dev/sda1:sda1_c,/dev/sdb2:sdb2_c  ro

During the boot, I enter passphrase

Encryption option sda1_c not known, ignoring

The post you link to also explicitly mentions that the user modified the hook in order to support multiple devices.

I replace /lib/hooks/initcpio/encrypt by the file in pastebin make a mkinitpio -p linux.
The reboot failed, nothig respond I have to use DVD repair.
Is there any other solutions ?

Sure, you can understand the code rather than blindly dropping it into your initramfs.

I don't really see why you need to decrypt both devices in the initramfs. According to your scheme, you only need to unlock "sdb2_c" in early userspace.

I want a bigger home I've to small HDD, the LVM makes me a "big" home.
It's not the good method to proceed ?

Again, you do not need to unlock both volumes in early userspace.

NeanderMarcl · 2013-10-08 17:32:40

In other words?

In other words.... use /etc/crypttab for unlocking the other volume and let systemd take care of it?
