Seems disk encryption (LUKS) is impossible to configure in TC2 as well
(neither with LVM nor without LVM).
Usually the installer crashes when trying any custom change, which seems
to be known bug according to
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Anaconda/Work_List
Block device encryption support was added the same week as this post.
Actually, I though beta should be feature complete for testing
(ok, 2 days left still :-), did I miss some approved plan to remove extended
storage features (like iSCSI) and LVM, RAID and LUKS installation
from Fedora graphical installer support for F18?
LVM and MD support are both present and have been since the time of this
post.
Al it seems to head to "write your kickstart script manually if you need such
things".
It means F18 GUI installation will be completely unusable for people
requiring enterprise features but unable to write own kickstart themselves.
Such people need to either hire a sysadmin or fire their current one. If
you're doing things sufficiently advanced as to require enterprise
storage functionality you should have the capability to write a simple,
well-defined, well-documented plain text configuration file. Come on.
