Hi, after setting up a full system encryption, which works just fine basically, I know want to create a ram disk. I though that /tmp could be outsourced to a ram disk, to speed things up. However I'm wondering whether it really makes sense to encrypt this. If there is someone able to read my ram, there is nothing I can do about it, so encryption wouldn't work, would it? Furthermore the content of the RAM gets encrypted when suspending, as my swap partition is encrypted. Moreover I think that it would slow down the ram disk, and that the benefit wouldn't be that great at all. So what do you think, is there any rational reason to encrypt a ram disk, or is it fair enough, when I just create an unencrypted one for /tmp? Is there anything I can read about this topic? -- Best regards, Karol Babioch <karol@xxxxxxxxxx>
