I think better idea is support for encrypted devices (partitions). It's solution independent on filesystem and it's useful for swaps too. For more details see cryptsetup-luks and dm-crypt. I have done work on util-linux patch that adds full cryptsetup-luks support to mount, umount, swapon and swapoff. See: http://people.redhat.com/kzak/util-linux-cryptsetup/ I'd like to see it in the util-linux upstream, but upstream seems pretty inactive... Maybe we can try it as FC specific solution and don't wait for any external (upstream) solution. Karel -- Karel Zak <kzak@xxxxxxxxxx>
