I'm considering switching from openSUSE to Debian. I haveseveral encrypted partitions in a separate storage volume that I would like to mount in /home. Can the Debian installer do that without reformatting them? (openSUSE's YaST installer once could do that but no longer does, one of several reasons for moving away from openSUSE.)
I don't know any place in the Debian install to mount existing "other" partitions, but then I haven't done the "expert" install in a very long time.
Leaving them out of the install process and then creating them in /etc/fstab afterward would seem safest.
I suppose so, but I'm not sure how to do it; YaST always did it for me, setting up appropriate entries in /etc/crypttab and /etc/fstab.
