I am trying to set up encrypted LVM on a fresh install of OpenSUSE Tumbleweed on a x86_64 system. using the 0228 DVD ISO installer image.
I I added a new partition with Do not format and “Encrypt Device” checked, entered the passphrase, clicked Next, and get the pop-up box with that message… It does offer to continue despite the error, but I think that is a bad idea, so I always select abort.
First, that’s a really terrible error message.
Second,what does it really mean?
Additional information. I can do everything at the command line and it seems to work:
# cryptsetup luksFormat /dev/nvme1n1p1
WARNING!

This will overwrite data on /dev/nvme1n1p1 irrevocably.
Are you sure? (Type uppercase yes): YES
