Have you looked at "luksSuspend" and "luksResume"?

I've only seen them as crytsetup options.. I'll google for those..


I'm not sure if the "same key" problem exists in Fedora 16, I've tried
setting it up this way and I'm able to boot but not resume.
Simply, you can't suspend the device which contains the cryptsetup
binary.

That's silly. Grub loads initramfs from an unencrypted /boot partition; initramfs knows about encryption and is able to mount root after I enter my key. There should be no technical reason why it can't mount the swap with the same key immediately after and tell kernel to resume from the now-available swap.


I see now - what you said applies to luksSuspend/luksResume. I'm guessing it should probably reside on /boot or inside initramfs for that reason... From what I can tell, these commands work for an encrypted separate partition, e.g. /home, probably not so much for the whole disk. And/or they should generally be called by other tools, abstracted from the user.
