Well, he's not the first one ;-) Quoting my comment from https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=57472#c6: Using DM-Crypt and Cryptsetup-LUKS would have several advantages: - multiple (max. 8) passwords for a partition - so each user can have its own password - passwords can be changed without re-encrypting the whole partition BTW: There was an interesting article about this in the german Linux-Magazin 08/2005 if someone is interested in the details. -> Using DM-Crypt is a very good idea :-) > * Removing build dependencies, speeding up the build process Also a good idea - but please make sure not to accidently remove features (some configure scripts probe at runtime which libraries for databases etc. are available) > * /dev/hd removal: http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/8/9/285 If the replacement is /dev/sd*, it's not a very good idea because sd* supports only 15 partitions... What about doing it the other way round - only use the /dev/hd* namespace and drop /dev/sd*? (Well, this is probably a very naive question ;-) Regards, Christian Boltz -- 1.-4.9.2006: Weinfest in Insheim Pig Slip, Hifi-Delity, AH-Band, Frank Petersen und die Deafen Goblins spielen bei der Landjugend.
