Re: [gentoo-user] dm-crypt + ext4 = where will the journal go?
The journal is generally located on the partition in question. If the partition is encrypted the journal should also be encrypted. You can use `tune2fs -l` to list the contents of the partition's superblock which will have details on the partition such as journal location, etc...

So far I followed this [1] guide and have to wait for the randomization part of the hard drive. In the wiki, ext4 is being used. Since ext3 a journal has been added. From my times with loop-aes I know that I have to store the journal through an encrypted loop device else it might be written on the hard drive. As of I'm new to dm-crypt and Gentoo, where will that journal now go? Any help is welcomed. :) Regards, Roland -- Sincerely, Steve Buzonas Jr.

Re: [gentoo-user] To x86_64 or not to x86_64
I have been thinking of going to x86_64 mode but I'm wondering if it's worth the trouble with multilib, chroot'ing, firefox-bin and other compromises (admittedly some minor). I realize I should see some speed increase but probably only in certain areas such as compiling. I just switched back to the amd64 profile and it has changed significantly since my last attempt. I only needed to use the multilib profile when I used the hardened profile. Hardened is still a little bit of a pain, but the standard profile and the desktop and server subprofiles work great.
Re: [gentoo-user] Re: Manifest question
Digests in the portage tree are an old obsolete feature that has just recently finally been removed from the tree. Now gentoo uses a much better Manifest scheme. 'ebuild ebuild-name digest has done nothing for quite some time now (at least a full year maybe?), and the manifest option is the one that works. There's interesting information about this on the font page of gentoo.org right now -- Alan McKinnon alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list I didn't realize that. I just used digest for my local overlay yesterday. Does it still allow it, or do I have an outdated version of portage? Steve Buzonas Jr.
