This needs to be done by your distribution's init system. For /home, your distribution should support some flavor of /etc/crypttab. You use crypttab to map an encrypted block device to an unencrypted block device. This will show up as /dev/mapper/<name>. You then use fstab to specify the mount as normal. So if your encrypted device is /dev/sda4, crypttab will have a mapping of /dev/sda4 to <name>. Then, fstab will have a mount of /dev/mapper/<name> to /home. _______________________________________________ dm-crypt mailing list dm-crypt@xxxxxxxx http://www.saout.de/mailman/listinfo/dm-crypt
