I have followed the encrypted swap hint:
http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/hints/downloads/files/eswap.txt
Now that I have it working, I am wondering how I can test whether it
really is working.
In other words, how can I read data from the swap partition by the aid
of say, a running live-cd or something?
I can't just mount it, right? Since it is a swap filesystem.
(Yes, I could mount it as swap, but that would be fairly pointless.)
So, how can I get the data off of it and into a single file, so I can
grep it and such?
I would also like to use 'software suspend'. Or rather version2, which
seems to be better but requires kernel patches etcetera.
I am a bit timid about starting that though. I am not sure what is
actually stored into the swap file when the machnine suspends.
Can it reboot if the swap is encrypted?
If it can, then either my swap is not encrypted or the kernel is loaded
like usual(which can read encrypted swap), and only usermemory like
having openoffice open or whatever is stored. Ehm... right?
Thanks in advance.
Warren
