Hi David, Sven is right, this is not really a cryptsetup question... However, let me add a few more pointers to his answers: Basically, you'll have the same problem as someone booting with an encrypted root fs, so you can start there: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Dm-crypt_full_disk_encryption#Generating_an_initramfs - you'll need to add to your initramfs some code to luksOpen the swap partition (one way or another) and then start the resuming process. The swap partition obviously can't be encrypted with a random passphrase, but probably setting it up just like a "normal" data partition in gentoo will give you the correct result. For starting the resuming process, you'll need to write "MAJOR:MINOR" of your resuming device (probably something like /dev/mapper/swap) into /sys/power/resume - the way my Slackware does that is the following in the init script of the initramfs: # Resume state from swap if [ "$RESUMEDEV" != "" ]; then # Find resume device if a label or UUID was given: if echo $RESUMEDEV | grep -q "LABEL=" || \ echo $RESUMEDEV | grep -q "UUID=" ; then RESUMEDEV=$(findfs $RESUMEDEV) elif ls -l $RESUMEDEV | grep -q "^l" ; then RESUMEDEV=$(readlink -f $RESUMEDEV) fi echo "Trying to resume from $RESUMEDEV" RESMAJMIN=$(ls -l $RESUMEDEV | tr , : | awk '{ print $5$6 }') echo $RESMAJMIN > /sys/power/resume fi I don't know if gentoo has a similar setup ready out of the box. Good luck, and remember to backup early and often ;) Heiko On 10/23/2016 12:27 AM, Sven Eschenberg wrote: > Not really a cryptsetup question. > > You should be aware of the fact, that suspend to disk on a randomly > encrypted swap cannot work (for obvious reasons).
