Re: [arch-general] Kpartx should be in the repos and archiso for enabling encrypted GPT install

You don’t need kpartx though. Neither losetup or LVM. I did several encrypted GPT install without any of them, so I’m pretty confident about this.

You are probably thinking about an encrypted GPT partition. What I am talking about is an encrypted GPT. To clarify, the partition table itself (the whole disk) should be encrypted in the scenario.

Could you instead describe your actual issue that make you think kpartx is required?

As I said in the first mail, the kernel does not automatically recognize partitions on device maps, unlike on sd devices. Regards, Neven Sajko
