Hello, I am quite new to Arch Linux, and one of the reasons I am trying it is the easy way it has to create an encrypted root partition. It works very well, compliments. :-D Anyway, as you can see from the subject of this email, I have a little complain to do. When the system asks you the password to mount the encrypted root device, you are asked for it twice. This is something good when you are creating an encrypted volume, to avoid typing mistakes, but when mounting it I think that being asked only once would make more sense. I have fixed that thing on my own system by changing the mkinird script and, obviously, by creating the initrd again. The change to do is trivial: when mkinitrd calls the cryptsetup utility, it passes to it the options -y, which makes it to ask for the password twice. By removing that option I get asked for the password only once. I am using it from some days, and it works fine. Referring to the maintainer of the mkinitrd package, maybe you can consider to do that modification to it.
Cheers and thanks again for the good work, Paolo _______________________________________________ arch mailing list [email protected] http://www.archlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/arch
