I've got a F19 installation that I'd like to turn into a fully encrypted
system with LUKS.
There are many howtos on the web for encrypting a partition, but they
all show doing it to /home.
the implication is that you need to be logged in as root on the
actual system you're modifying, though I don't think that is explicitly
stated. That would mean you can't encrypt the root partition itself,
since you've got to have an empty partition to work on, then restore its
contents from backup.
So, my question(s):
-can you do it while being booted into a recovery environment?
-if not, is there any way to convert the whole thing that I'm not
able to figure out on my own (perhaps I'm having a whole series of
senior moments) ???
-Or would it simply be best to do a fresh installation?
Thanks!
