Hello everyone, I allow myself to contact you because I need a little help, I am new to Foreman I do not know too much, I am trying to find out how to use it. I use Foreman in my job and I use it to be able to install machines. I have performed tests to try to install encrypted stations in debian 8. I made a template that works but there are some adjustments to be made. When it finishes installing I have the part of the sda1 disk which is in boot but then I have two parts: sda2 and sda5. the sda2 is in “extended” format and the sda5 in “Linux” format.
What I would like is to have the following line:
Device Boot Start End Sectors Size Id Type
/ dev / sda1 * 2048 499711 497664 243M 83 Linux
/ dev / sda2 501758 968957951 968456194 461.8G 5 Linux LVM
I would like the encrypted part to be sda2.
That’s why I need a little help from you. Could someone please fill me in on that?
I leave the template I created to be able to encrypt the disk.
