As you are not very specific about the requirements and details of your setup, the CentOS version you use, and the level of experience you have, this is the only thing I can come up with: http://agiletesting.blogspot.com/2008/05/encrypting-linux-root-partition-with.html I am unfamiliar with both RHEL and CentOS, so this is all I can give you as advice. Maybe someone else here will provide you with more. If not, I suggest the CentOS forum as another place to look for help: http://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/ Please keep in mind that encrypting the root filesystem is difficult to do correctly. If you have little experience using the dm-crypt infrastructure for this purpose I recommend you practice on a test system until you really, really know what you are doing. And, of course, make backups regularly. Regards, Ian. _______________________________________________ dm-crypt mailing list dm-crypt@xxxxxxxx http://www.saout.de/mailman/listinfo/dm-crypt
