Hi All,
I'm installing LMDE(Debian) on a dual boot laptop. I'm sure my life would be simpler if I didn't have to dual boot, and I rarely use the other partitions, but I need them for some stuff for work occasionally.
I've created a 100M partition in /dev/sda6 for /boot, and sda7 is to be a ~700G encrypted volume, containing a 10G swap space, and the rest for /.
Installation went well. I've created fstab and cryptab etc, enabled initramfs modules, updated-initramfs and rebooted.
I get grub shell.
I've booted into liveUSB to have a look, run `cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sda7 LMDE`, and get prompted fo my passphrase, which passes and the volume is unlocked.
Now, when I run `sudo lvs`, I get this:
Code:
LV VG Attr LSize Pool Origin Data% Meta% Move Log Cpy%Sync Convert
root LMDE -wi------- 695.82g
swap LMDE -wi------- 10.16g
Now I'm not entirely clued up on logical volumes, but I'm happy that my volumes have persisted, to me this means they exist. I've notice the attributes are slightly different than they were when I created them before.
When I run `lsblk` I get this:
Code:
NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT
sda 8:0 0 1.4T 0 disk
├─sda1 8:1 0 650M 0 part
├─sda2 8:2 0 260M 0 part
├─sda3 8:3 0 128M 0 part
├─sda4 8:4 0 689.4G 0 part
├─sda5 8:5 0 854M 0 part
├─sda6 8:6 0 95M 0 part
└─sda7 8:7 0 706G 0 part
└─lvmlocal 254:0 0 706G 0 crypt
Which suggests they don't exist. And they are not accessible devices in /dev/mapper/.
Any clue why this discrepancy? I feel it might be a clue as to why I can't boot at the moment.
Many thanks..
