Hi, I'm stuck with an unusable disk : I followed loop-aes.readme and Gentoo's http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=108162&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0 instructions on building encrypted root partition. However, when modifying buil-initrd.sh I uncommented the SEED and ITERATION options (can't remember exact names) and broke cardinal rule by not writing seed down on paper ;-( I then followed the remaining instructions to the letter. Immediately after crypting my root from Knoppix, I remembered that I didn't provide any seed. 2 questions : -how can I decrypt my root partition ? dd if=/dev/hda5 bs=64k | /mnt/aespipe -d -K /mnt/rootkey.gpg -G / | \ of=/dev/hda5 bs=64k conv=notrunc -If providing seed in initrd what command should I have used ? dd if=/dev/hda5 bs=64k | /mnt/aespipe -e AES256 -H SHA512 -K /mnt/rootkey.gpg -G / | \ of=/dev/hda5 bs=64k conv=notrunc -- -- Pierre GMX ProMail (250 MB Mailbox, 50 FreeSMS, Virenschutz, 2,99 EUR/Monat...) jetzt 3 Monate GRATIS + 3x DER SPIEGEL +++ http://www.gmx.net/derspiegel +++ - Linux-crypto: cryptography in and on the Linux system Archive: http://mail.nl.linux.org/linux-crypto/
