Hello FAI Users!
</div>
<div class="default-style">
</div>
<div class="default-style">
I have encountered a problem with the "setup-storage" module, I hope you can help me.
</div>
<div class="default-style">
<br>I've already read the manpage, but the example doesn't work for "Plain disk + LUKS + LVM2 example"
<br>https://fai-project.org/doc/man/setup-storage.html or better formatting at: https://manpages.debian.org/bookworm/fai-setup-storage/setup-storage.8.en.html .
</div>
<div class="default-style">

I want FAI to create finally following disk layout:
</div>
<div class="default-style">
RAID1 (2 Disks), encrypted with LUKS and LVM
</div>
<div class="default-style">
</div>
<div class="default-style">
</div>
<div class="default-style">
As first step I've tried to implement LVM.
<br>This works without problems (with the included example).
</div>
<div class="default-style">
</div>
<div class="default-style">
As second step, I've tried LUKS with LVM.
</div>
<div class="default-style">
But now my GRUB Bootloader can't find the encrypted LVM Pool.
</div>
<div class="default-style">
</div>
<div class="default-style">
It seems like FAI does not modify GRUB for LUKS decryption.
<br>But I don't know if this must be done (I'm coming from Arch, but Debian is not my main world)

My disk_config is this (<a href="https://bin.tiekoetter.com/?b84e7e543b813b3b#76tQEgA77NzMg8aSM6dQeTYyJizcmNyfu75JS7pDxxrP">https://bin.tiekoetter.com/?b84e7e543b813b3b#76tQEgA77NzMg8aSM6dQeTYyJizcmNyfu75JS7pDxxrP</a>), or in this Email:
<br>=====
<br>disk_config disk1 fstabkey:uuid align-at:1M

<div class="default-style">
primary /boot 500 ext4 rw,noatime
<br>primary - 4G- - -
</div>
<div class="default-style">
disk_config cryptsetup
</div>
<div class="default-style">
luks:"passwd" - disk1.2 - -
</div>
<div class="default-style">
disk_config lvm fstabkey:uuid

<div class="default-style">
vg vg1 disk1.2
<br>vg1-root / 3G- ext4 noatime,rw

The error message from a FAI Client (Screenshot).
<br>See Attachment!
</div>
<div class="default-style">
<br>Now the question is, how can this be realized?
<br>Does FAI do not configure GRUB for LVM decryption?
</div>
<div class="default-style">
</div>
<div class="default-style">
Or is only my disk config wrong?
</div>
<div class="default-style">
Have you similar setups configured with FAI?
<br>Can you give me some Code snippets?
<br>The best would be a finished setup with RAID1 + LVM + LUKS.
