Hi, I'm trying to create an encrypted filesystem via Yast partitioner in SuSE 10.1, using a file mounted via the loop device. I have done this before, in fact I have two such things created under 9.3 running; but I can't (couldn't) with 10.1, it is creating a plain non encrypted filesystem instead. Or so it seemed. Looking carefully again, after several runs, I noticed that it was mounting the filesystem as plain non encrypted, but it was in fact creating an encrypted one with the appropriate entry en /etc/cryptotab instead of in /etc/fstab - whereas in 9.3 it created then in /etc/fstab instead, and in 8.x they were created in /etc/cryptotab. This criteria change is very confusing. Perhaps Yast could ask where the user wanted to define it - feature request, perhaps? It's not only a config file difference; an encrypted filesystem defined in /etc/fstab can be mounted with the command mount, but one defined in /etc/cryptotab is mounted via the command "/etc/init.d/boot.crypto start", which is less comfortable for manual mount after boot (and it mounts all devices listed, even if already mounted). /etc/cryptotab sample line: /dev/loop3 /file3 /crypta3 ext3 twofish256 acl,user_xattr /etc/fstab, the equivalent sample line: /file3 /crypta3 ext3 noauto,acl,user_xattr,loop=/dev/loop3,encryption=twofish256 0 0 Both work with the same file, I tried. I'll stay with the second one. But in 9.3 the fstab line was instead (incompatible): /file2 /crypta2 ext3 noauto,acl,user_xattr,loop=/dev/loop2,encryption=twofish256,phash=sha512,itercountk=100 Comments? Also, how would I create the equivalent encrypted filesystem manually; docus, howtos? Tks. -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
