Which version of the installer?

6

Calamares 3.3.1 and 3.3.2 is both affected - albeit not to the same degree

Selected hibernate using ext4 and encryption with 3.3.1 - OK.

Selected hibernate using ext4 and encryption with 3.3.2 - only swap partition is encrypted.

Selecting encryption - using a swapfile and btrfs - does not create an encrypted installation - both versions affected.

Calamares 3.3.2

Installing in VirtualBox using btrfs - swap with hibernate - encryption
