The / and primary swap partitions (or logical volumes) are handled a bit differently than say /opt. They are mounted very early in the boot process, and in fact are handled by the initrd's nash scripts. If you change the LUKS options for these, you'll need to rebuild the initrd (see mkinitrd) as well. Or, you could just wait until the next kernel update and it will correct things for you. I'd use /dev/urandom for swap; unless it's a laptop and you'll be doing suspend-to-ram (which I've heard could have LUKS issues). -- Deron Meranda -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
