This is supported in MDK kernels...
Yes, since 8.2, and it is really cool to support this out-of-the-box (SuSE does, but RedHat doesn't).
Swap can also be encrypted (in your /etc/fstab, at the swap line, replace "defaults" by "encrypted" and reboot). But remember to come back to "defaults" before you upgrade your Mandrake 9.1 in 9.2 !
The problem with encrypted FS is : how to create easily the encrypted folder or the encrypted partition ?
- Encrypted folder : mkcryptfs is a little script to help the creation (RPM noarch.mdk available at https://www.bouissou.net/wws/d_read/open-crypto/linux-crypto/mkcryptfs
- Encrypted partition : during installation, Diskdrake supports the encrypted partition creation (choose custom partitionning, then "options", then "encrypted") for /home and /tmp, but unfortunately NOT for the /var partition.
