Hi, i have some encrypted partitions in my system (suse 9.3, updated). My problem is that i must be at the keyboard when rebooting (or just booting up) the machine to enter the passphrase (or press the intro key to go on with the boot process) or just wait for the timeout. As the network is not available at this point (only lo interface is ready at that moment), i would like to disable the automatic mount during the boot process. I have tried to use 'noauto' option in the /etc/cryptotab file, to no success (doesnt make any difference): /dev/loop0 /dev/hdb11 /stuff reiserfs twofish256 acl,user_xattr,noauto /dev/loop1 /dev/hdc2 /waste2 reiserfs twofish256 acl,user_xattr,noauto /dev/loop2 /dev/hdc4 /waste4 ext3 twofish256 acl,user_xattr,noauto Is there an easy way to disable the boot.crypto script during the boot? Ive been unable to find the man page of cryptotab or any reference in the fstab man page. Thanks lots, -- Saludos, Miguel

Try putting the encrypted partitions in your fstab. You can get the currently used mount options by calling mount | grep loop Don't forget to add "noauto" to the options when writing them into the fstab ;-) Then comment out the partitions in /etc/cryptotab. boot.crypto doesn't check for encrypted partition in fstab AFAIK. BTW: There's a good article about crypto filesystems on sdb.suse.de - just search for it ;-) Regards, Christian Boltz -- 2.-5.9.2005: Weinfest in Insheim Bei der Landjugend: Liquid, AH-Band und Deafen Goblins Mehr Infos: www.Landjugend-Insheim.de
