Re: easiest way to encrypt existing home dir?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I have used luksipc https://www.johannes-bauer.com/linux/luksipc/once when I needed to encrypt my directories in response to university policies then adopted, about two years ago. However, I used ext4. I even have a Fedora rpm that I created for it then.

Best wishes,
Ranjan
