In this case, the only way to go is to have a passphrase, a randomly generated key means you're locked out after the partition is closed. Another possibility, if this sounds acceptable for you, is to pre-generate a keyfile which resides on the root partition (and you keep a backup of it on a safe place somwhere outside this machine), which is then used to automatically unlock the swap partition in the boot process. _______________________________________________ dm-crypt mailing list dm-crypt@xxxxxxxx http://www.saout.de/mailman/listinfo/dm-crypt
