Is there a known method, when a user accesses a file/folder of an unmounted dm-crypt partition, the action can spawn an attempt to automatically mount this partition. For the password prompt, as I constantly am working within a terminal and not GUI desktop for obvious reasons, pinentry is commonly used for prompting in a terminal or by GUI for a password when using GNUPG. app-crypt/pinentry http://gnupg.org/aegypten2/index.html Any thoughts on this? (Kernel DBUS/UDEV script or something?) The type of current setup targeted is a file containing an encrypted EXT3 filesystem using dm-crypt, for which is mounted to /mnt/crypt. This is usually left in an unmounted state until wanting access to something within /mnt/crypt/somefile/orfolder. ie. "vi /mnt/crypt/myfile or abook /mnt/crypt/addressbook --datafile /home/roger/.abook/addressbook" I'm thinking, something within the dbus/udev (kernel script) is needed. Another thought, what if TAB Bash Completion is used? -- Roger http://rogerx.freeshell.org/ _______________________________________________ dm-crypt mailing list dm-crypt@xxxxxxxx http://www.saout.de/mailman/listinfo/dm-crypt
