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. I just realized - encrypting root in the setup doesn't work. http://en.opensuse.org/Testing:Features_11.0#Support_root_on_encrypted_files...
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=397411 User freeform.reform@gmail.com added comment https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=397411#c15 --- Comment #15 from Peter Keenig <freeform.reform@gmail.com> 2008-06-10 06:16:13 MDT --- (In reply to comment #14 from Stefan Seyfried) lists it as a feature, but https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=386426 lists it as an unresolved bug. So for now, root can only be encrypted as decribed here: http://en.opensuse.org/Encrypted_Root_File_System
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). It's just that I had read http://kde.blogsite.org/?q=node/13 where the person explained that if you set up /boot unencrypted and then all other partitions encrypted in LVM, hibernate/resume would work without modifying the init script (although this decription is for Debian).
