I already tried to create an encrypted root filesystem without LVM manually. This worked, but it had too many limitations, e.g. no installation or system upgrade with DVD. It would be nice do have this feature in Factory. LVM is OK, but I think, it's a bit too much for simple installations on laptops. I think the password

Why would you care if SWAP has a password associated with it? It's not necessary and if you see the crypttab(5) man page states using /dev/urandom is sufficient for swaps password file. If swap currently isn't encrypted it's trivially easy to setup by installing ecryptfs-utils, running ecryptfs-setup-swap, and rebooting the machine. /etc/fstab (before and after running ecryptfs-setup-swap): #/dev/system/swap swap swap defaults 0 0 /dev/mapper/cryptswap1 none swap sw 0 0 /etc/crypttab: cryptswap1 /dev/dm-2 /dev/urandom swap,cipher=aes-cbc-essiv:sha256 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
