I have a fesh install of CentOS release 6.6 on my laptop. I want to use
a more secure config with /home crypted. But when this partition is
mounted I cannot login anymore on my laptop. Only root can login. This
occur at level 5 (graphic login) or 3 (text login). The message is
"Cannot enter home directory. Using /."
Logged as root I can create a new user (with useradd) and his home is
created on this crypted partition.
Logged as root I can issue a "su - anotheruser" in a terminal and access
the home of this user on the crypted partition.
The problem looks strange for me and google has not helped....
This how I build the crypted partition (following a tutorial, just
changing ext4 with xfs):
lvcreate -L 30G -n lv_home vg_portable
badblocks -s -w -t random -v /dev/vg_portable/lv_home
cryptsetup luksFormat /dev/vg_portable/lv_home
cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/vg_portable/lv_home c_home
mkfs -t xfs -L /home /dev/mapper/c_home
The blkid command shows:
/dev/mapper/c_home: LABEL="/home"
UUID="1118317e-cc5a-4183-a498-21418f82e982" TYPE="xfs"
In /etc/fstab I add:
UUID=1118317e-cc5a-4183-a498-21418f82e982 /home xfs defaults 1 2
In /etc/crypttab I add:
c_home /dev/vg_portable/lv_home none luks
Thanks for your advices.
