This install was focused on testing loop-AES support in
partman-crypto.
Test (features):
OK /home - GnuPG Keyfile
OK /tmp - random key
OK swap - random key
OK swap - random key
Test (sanity-checks):
OK on loop-AES: /
OK on loop-AES: /boot
OK weak passphrase
OK ext3 on random key
OK unencrypted swap before "Configure encrypted volumes"
FAIL unencrypted swap added later on
Usability:
1. The entropy plugin required me to type randomly for
about six minutes while it generated the key. This is quite long
and tiresome. While it only needs to be done at install time and
only once for each partition, something should be done to make
this require less direct input by the user. (Bug#381875)
2. To test the sanity checks I configured an encrypted volume
with random key to hold /opt on ext3. The check worked correctly
and warned about this setup. I went back, changed the encrypted
volume to hold swap and chose "Finish partitioning" again, but the
warning still triggered although it was now configured with
method=swap. (bug documented in partman-crypto/BUGS)
Important problems:
3. Nothing in partman-crypto prevented me from setting up
an unencrypted swap space AFTER encrypted volumes had been setup.
The installation continued without warning and the installed
system booted with encrypted loops and unencrypted swap. This
is quite bad but IMO doesn't make it unsuitable for beta3 as
this is quite a corner case and we explicitly warn about
unsuitability for production use. (Bug#381870)
cheers,
Max
