How to install opensuse 16 to the existing LVM + LUKS?

https://forums.opensuse.org/t/leap-16-agama-storage-cant-select-existing-partitions-lvm/188618/4
Agamar installer required LUKS password then I get the same trouble like the above link, does deano_ferrari there provide the correct answer? As I don’t want my mportant data disapeared.

You should of course always have a (or more then one) backup.

I ran into that problem.

My solution was to install a minimal Leap 15.6, and then upgrade it to Leap 16.0. For the upgrade, I remove all repos except the OSS one, and then ran:

zypper --releasever=16.0 dup --allow-vendor-change

After that, I installed what I wanted.

Ye, i and p disappeared. :laughing:

Does deano_ferrari there provide the correct answer? And is the same to LUKS?

How old is your vm+luks setup anyway? If fairly old then it would be a good idea to start over and move from luksv1 to v2

My filesystem is btrfs, what extra works have to do?
