Good idea to add it to the FAQ. Thanks for maintaining this very valuable piece of documentation. But maybe you should more emphasize the fact that /etc/crypttab implementations are distro-specific. While I know for sure that options like swap and noearly are supported in Debian-based distributions, I'm not sure about Redhat-based ones. Last time I looked, only a small subset of crypttab options that we've implemented in Debian were supported on Redhat-based systems. Additionally, the following sentence looks wrong to me: "Note: use /dev/random if you are paranoid or in a potential low-entropy situation (embedded system, etc.).". Mainly in low-entropy situations /dev/random would cause the boot process to hang, right? So for these setups /dev/urandom actually is the better solution. Granted that one isn't paranoid ;) Kind regards, jonas _______________________________________________ dm-crypt mailing list dm-crypt@xxxxxxxx http://www.saout.de/mailman/listinfo/dm-crypt
