Hi folks |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
I’m trying to follow an article¹ on setting up a fully encrypted system for |
| 4 |
my soon-to-arrive laptop. It and others (e.g. ² in a very condensed form) |
| 5 |
simply luksFormat a block device, then luksOpen it and run pvcreate on that. |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
I’ve never used LVM before, it’s only installed as a dependency for various |
| 8 |
FS tools. Hence, my LVM install is basically pure vanilla. But when I try to |
| 9 |
follow those articles, I get: |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
kern $ cryptsetup status /dev/mapper/tp |
| 12 |
/dev/mapper/tp is active. |
| 13 |
[...] |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
kern $ pvcreate /dev/mapper/tp |
| 16 |
/run/lvm/lvmetad.socket: connect failed: No such file or directory |
| 17 |
WARNING: Failed to connect to lvmetad. Falling back to internal scanning. |
| 18 |
Device /dev/mapper/tp not found (or ignored by filtering). |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
The filter rule in /etc/lvm/lvm.conf simply says the default: |
| 21 |
filter = [ "r|/dev/nbd.*|", "a/.*/" ] |
| 22 |
Meaning ‘include everything except /dev/nbd*’. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
Can you give me a hint what I might be missing? Perhaps I need to set some |
| 25 |
other of the many options in lvm.conf? |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
Gratefully awaiting any helpful nudge. |
