I would like to create a LUKS drive, requiring a password to access, in order to store data for a confidential project. I don't think I want to encrypt the entire machine as my CPU is pretty basic (Pentium G2120) and I'm worried about performance. (Or is this a non-issue?)
I was using it on old Celerons and it worked well. So I'd give it a try. I use to have fully encrypted / and it works fine.
Anyway - what is the cleanest way to create and then mount a LUKS drive in Leap? Ideally I want some sort of automount with a GUI prompt for password when I try to access the path. I could live with a manual mount command and password entry. provided I do not have to do it as root.
Click in YaST. You can directly mount it there. If You'd make like this an external drive (I also do so), when I plug such drive, KDE (or whatever You are using) will ask for password and then it will be mounted as any other external drive. If You'd add entry to fstab to be mounted during boot, You might have issues displaying the prompt for entering password (Plymouth sometimes doesn't work perfectly), install blogd instead of Plymouth. -- Vojtěch Zeisek https://trapa.cz/
