## encrypted installation fails

Wed Nov 13, 2013 4:28 pm

With this error in /var/log/refractainstaller-error.log

Code:
  `mke2fs 1.42.5 (29-Jul-2012)
  Could not stat /dev/mapper/root_fs --- No such file or directory
  The device apparently does not exist; did you specify it correctly?
  `

I ran gparted and created sdb1 as ext2, sdb2 as ext4 and sdb3 as ext4
I choose:
expert installation
create home partition
create boot partition
encrypt the root filesystem
encrypt the home partition
Pointed grub to mbr; sda1
/boot to sdb1 as ext2
os to sdb2 as ext4
home to sdb3 as ext4
I clicked "proceed" and entered: "yes" in the pop-up terminal

uppercase yes, let me try again. duh.
... and it's "copying". Whew.
sure way more easy than the debian installer when it comes to encrypted without lvm and without overwriting existing data.
