Hi! I didn't find a specific cryptsetup mailing-list. Please excuse, if I bother you with this email... Currently, cryptsetup is 'hardwired' to ext2 as the filesystem for tmp directories. Creation of big ext2 filesystems (eg. as temp isofs storage) takes a lot of time - however, I still would like to start my htpc as fast as possible. Other filesystems are created MUCH faster. I therefore suggest to 'enhance' the 'tmp' option to include an optional filesystem name: 144a145,149 > if [ -z "$VALUE" ]; then > TMPFS="ext2" > else > TMPFS="$VALUE" > fi 387,388c392,393 < mke2fs "/dev/mapper/$dst" > /dev/null 2>&1 || return 1 < mount -t ext2 "/dev/mapper/$dst" /tmp || return 1 --- > mkfs -t $TMPFS -q "/dev/mapper/$dst" > /dev/null 2>&1 || return 1 > mount -t $TMPFS "/dev/mapper/$dst" /tmp || return 1 Greets HPO
