Hello, Some of us here use SuSe Linux at each foreign site to provide CFS filesystems to protect a directory containing certificates for all our various java security related certs. Its more or less our Key Escrow. Unfortunately a German co-worker took off for a 5 week vacation, and a system crashed and restarted but never mounted the CFS. Normally in the boot process we are prompted for the passphrase. What can I do to remount the CFS filesystem in the security mount point partion I created. I have a partition all of its own for CFS, the directory exists but has not mounted the filesystem. Where do I begin, to find where CFS is specified, how to mount it, etc. Thanks, Ryan S.

SuSE boot concept: /etc/rc.config # defines START_CRYPTO_FILESYSTEMS="yes" /etc/cryptotab # defines equivalent to /etc/fstab /etc/init.d/boot.crypto # init script, mounts devices mentioned in /etc/cryptotab If all is configured well, just run the latter, it will ask for the password. Depending on your distro /etc/init.d/ may be /sbin/init.d. SuSE support database (SDB) SuSE specific concept HowTo: /usr/share/doc/sdb/de/html/jsj_crypto_filesystem_mini_howto.html ok, this will be /en/ at your site, if installed; or search on the SDB website.

Thanks, Ryan S.
Cheers, Lars
Hi all, i got the SuSE 8.0 and am compiled the 2.4.18 kernel which came with it. I did it on a runnint SuSE 7.3 system. Everything went right, but when i booted the new 2.4.18 kernel, it could not recognize the crypto file systems i already have. Booting the 7.3 kernel, everything works. The missing module is the loop_twofish. It is still being used by SuSE in the 8.0 version? If yes, where do i get it? Best regards, Paulo Wollny
