Dear Carlos, Quoting Carlos E. R. (robin.listas@telefonica.net):
Using that method, however, during boot the system would ask for the passphrase twice or more: once for the root system (another for /home, if used), and another for swap ?¹?.
Last night I tested another setup using YaST to set up the encrypted partitions. Now I understand why you wrote I would have to type the password for every partition -- with YaST's setup, I have to. I did just two reboots, and already I hate myself for having chosen a long passphrase. On the other hand, I *want* a long passphrase! So it's either provide for an additional key as proposed by Christian Boltz or find out how to activate the 'try reusing key before asking for a new one' I had before for the YaST-generated setup. Christian Boltz' idea would also solve my main problem: automatically re-mounting the encrypted suspend-to-disk swap partition during suspend. On the other hand it would mean having passwords on the root partition, which I would like to avoid. Stefan, I will read more about uswsusp too. I'm sure I can learn interesting things from that too, and maybe I'll use it.
