one password, multiple encrypted partitions

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I am interested in encrypting some, but not all, of my partitions.  If I
use the same pass-phrase for each partition, will I only have to answer
one prompt to unlock all of them?

Actually, when and how do I have to supply the pass-phrase?  I've
encrypted the whole disk before, and I get prompted at boot time.
http://www.saout.de/tikiwiki/tiki-index.php?page=HOWTO makes it sound as
if the story is the same for partitions, at least if I
configure /etc/fstab and /etc/crypttab a certain way.
