Out of curiosity (and because I'm a potential target audience for that), what are the thoughts of openSUSE team and are there any plans on introducing support for this into the installer in following releases? Personally I'd rather see better support for using ecryptfs, much like in Ubuntu, for data and home directories. The layered file system is a 'cleaner' approach IMO, no need to remember to resize the device, you're not forced into a fixed size/ungrowable home dir which is the current mechanism.
Well, they promise much better performance and they are saying that encryption will be directory-based (unless I'm wrong). Plus they say that main guy behind ecryptfs is the lead on the project. So this time I expect improvement, instead of just "doing things differently" as it is often the case. -- Regards, Stas -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
