-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, According to the release notes, I thought that /etc/cryptotab was to be converted to /etc/crypttab while upgrading 10.2 to 10.3, but it wasn't. How do I do it? The entry in /etc/cryptotab is this: /dev/loop0 /dev/disk/by-id/ata-ST3320620A_5QF2M56F-part15 /cripta xfs twofish256 noatime,nodiratime I see a man page for crypttab, which says that the lines should be: <target device> <source device> <key file> <options> But I don't see clearly. It says: · The first column, target device specifies the mapped device name. It must be a plain filename without any directories. A mapped device /dev/mapper/device name will be created by cryptsetup(8) crypting data from and onto the source device. To actually mount that device it needs to be listed in /etc/fstab. Ie, is it an invented name? A non existing name in /dev/mapper/? Like /dev/mapper/MyCrypto? Then the line would be: MyCrypto /dev/disk/by-id/ata-ST3320620A_5QF2M56F-part15 .... Now, third field: · The third column key file specifies the file to use for decrypting the encrypted data of the source device. It can also be a device name (e.g. /dev/urandom, which is useful for encrypted swap devices). Warning: luks does not support infinite streams (like /dev/urandom), it requires a fixed size key. Are they talking of the mount point? A file containing the passphrase? I believe the second. · The fourth field options specifies the cryptsetup options associated with the encryption process. At minimum, the field should contain the string luks or the cipher, hash and size options. Options have to be specified in the format: key=value[,key=value ...] Cipher, hash, size.... I have no idea how to relate this to the original remaining options: ... xfs twofish256 noatime,nodiratime Is this suppossed to be this way? I don't see how... - -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.4-svn0 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Made with pgp4pine 1.76 iD8DBQFHTi9/tTMYHG2NR9URAtJ8AJ9+7Cm5VwCEh/PTE93iKzTJh+a1+ACfdB6q yEAJUTkmAeAg4EBsAEDXDRA= =YGOD -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
