That's possible. A blend of both scenarios. Then, just like in my existing fstab, I can specify the mount point as /dev/LogVol00/blahblah instead of /dev/sdb1, which obviously doesn't work :P

That way you wouldn't need to go to single user mode... but otherwise, i think you'll need to boot to single user mode.

At P&,, we are committed to keeping your data confidential which is why we are implementing new email encryption software. This software inspects all outbound emails from our firm. Emails that contain attachments will require you to enter a password to download the file. This ensures that your confidential data cannot be read by anyone other than the intended recipient. Emails with attachments will include a link to a secure web server. Click on the link to download the attachment. The first time you receive a secure email from the firm you will be required to setup a password. This will be your password to access future attachments. For our clients and others, there will be a small step to download the encrypted files; however, we believe the added confidentiality benefits far outweigh the few seconds that are required to access the attachment.
