I think I have enough free space to juggle things. I've got the rootfs and swap on LVM and have tons of free space. In theory I could shrink the rootfs ext3, shrink the LogVol00 containing that ext3, and create a new logical volume to contain /home that I intend to encrypt. While I'm at it I'll also encrypt swap, but with an ephemeral key that gets pulled from /dev/random on each boot. > You can use cryptsetup (using the luks commands) to set up an encrypted > block device on top of a partition.
