but in #12 you said
The normal setup does not use a "hibernation file". It uses the swap partition. so the system per default hibernates to the swap partition, correct? you said I could do encrypted hibernation. How would one accomplish that? http://en.opensuse.org/S2disk doesn't mention anything about it.
Yes, the s2disk documentation on openSUSE.org is actually written by somebody else (and it is plain wrong), i need to revise it.
Actually i was not able to install an encrypted root with YaST. I tried the installation from the Live-CD. I think it is only implemented in the "normal" setup.
I now installed from the RC3 BiArch DVD and it still does not let me encrypt the root partition. If that works, suspending and resuming from a swapfile inside the encrypted root partition might actually be quite easy, but i am not able to get it working. Do you have a pointer to documentation about that? (sorry, i don't know too much about encryption setup, as you obviously already might have guessed ;)
BTW: Does this issue become any easier if one would use a LVM setup with an unencrypted /boot partition?
It does not really matter. As long as the initrd asks for the credentials of the swap or root partition, this is all pretty easy. But i don't think that our initrd does this (i actually don't know). -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
