In that case it's also possible to check the progress like this: $ kill -USR1 $(pidof dd) (This should be typed in another terminal.) > No. You just map it like you stated and then create the filesystem > on the mapped device. How to map it? Will the following work? $ cryptsetup create /dev/sda2 boot $ cryptsetup create /dev/sda3 main > mkswap /dev/mapper/main Is this a typo? I guess that it should be changed to: mkswap /dev/mapper/swap > No idea. Suspend-to-disk is insecure unless done right and it > needs to be done right by your distro. What about this option [1]? Is it secure? I know that some people don't use swap at all because of security issues. But I'd like to use it. By the way, are there any differences between a swap partition and a swap file (in terms of security)?
