Dear Wiki user, You have subscribed to a wiki page or wiki category on "Fedora Project Wiki" for change notification. The following page has been changed by KarstenWade: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Docs/Beats/FileSystems The comment on the change is: added mainly verbatim from bz #197554 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ = File Systems = - This section has not been updated for Fedora Core [[GetVal(DocsDict,BeatsVer)]] by the [http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/DocsProject/ReleaseNotes/Beats beat writer]. + Fedora Core 6 provides basic support for encrypted swap partitions and non-root + file systems. 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 instead asks for + the encryption key during boot. + + It is recommended to use LUKS for file system 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 +
