To use it, add entries to /etc/crypttab and reference the created devices in /etc/fstab. An example /etc/crypttab entry for a swap partition: my_swap /dev/hdb1 /dev/urandom swap,cipher=aes-cbc-essiv:sha256 This creates an encrypted block device /dev/mapper/my_swap, which can be referenced in /etc/fstab. For a filesystem volume: my_volume /dev/hda5 /etc/volume_key cipher=aes-cbc-essiv:sha256 The /etc/volume_key file contains a plaintext encryption key. You can also specify "none" as the key file name, and the system will ask for the encryption key during boot. It is recommended to use LUKS for filesystem volumes: - Create the encrypted volume using (cryptsetup luksFormat) - Add the necessary entry to /etc/crypttab - Set up the volume manually using (cryptsetup luksOpen) or reboot - Create a filesystem on the encrypted volume - Set up an /etc/fstab entry -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee.
