Hello I am aiming to boot from logical volumes that are attached to an encrypted /dev/loop which is in turn attached to a /dev/hda. I hope to have all but /boot encrypted, yet retain the flexibility of lvm2. To date I have failed. I can encrypt my root partition according to Example 5 in the readme. And, I can create logical volumes on top of an encrypted loopback. It is in the murky world of the init ram disk that a start clutching at shadows. I'll start with a question that I am moderately sure of. In build-initrd.conf, what should CRYPTROOT=? CRYPTROOT=/dev/vg/root does not work (not surprising in retrospect). Or, should I be using something different from build-initrd.sh? Regards Fog_Watch. -- Lose wait.
