I've used the encryption available in anaconda to encrypt my laptop drive, and I'm wondering if it is possible to use a block device (like an MMC or USB thumb-drive) as key material for the encrypted partition and what the steps would be for making sure the initrd and Plymouth? have the info to start correctly. I've been using LUKS encrypted disks for a while now and I'm pretty familiar with using cryptsetup, and I've generated new initrd's for small changes (like disk controller order). What I have at the moment is an MMC device (shows up as /dev/mmcblk0) with two partitions, the first one is only one cylinder (522240 bytes in this case) in case it is an exhaustive read like what some of the cryptsetup man page says (crypttab man page does say you can specify the key size, so that's good). Do I need to change anything else other than change /etc/crypttab with the key source and generate an new initrd with the mmc modules included? Any way to have the password input also as a fall-back? I would really like to not have to attempt a rescue with an encrypted disk if I can avoid it... :) Thanks for any suggestions! --Caitlyn -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
