Re: [gentoo-user] dm-crypt + ext4 = where will the journal go?

/dmcrypt lets you configure it easily (as long as it doesn't affect /usr). However, I personally find it easier to put LVM on a single dmcrypt volume and be done this. All you need for this to work are two lines in /etc/rc.conf: rc_dmcrypt_before="lvm" rc_dmcrypt_after="udev&quo

to your encrypted data. In both cases, you are hosed anyway (keyloggers, etc.). Encrypting everything except the boot partition still protects you against theft, seizure and so on (as long as you sanitize the device when you get it back). Secure Boot would help further but let's not re-iterate that particular flame/FUD war. Regards, Florian Philipp signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

structure of /var for the early boot stages but that's about it. Getting root encrypted is the sole responsibility of your initrd. Regards, Florian Philipp signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

Re: [gentoo-user] dm-crypt + ext4 = where will the journal go?

mcrypt partition and then `mount --bind` or `ln -s` parts of it in different places. For me personally, it is a nice compromise as it allows me to work without an initrd while still keeping most of my file systems encrypted. I just have to make sure to leave nothing private on root, /usr or /etc. Regards, Florian Philipp signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

Re: [gentoo-user] dm-crypt + ext4 = where will the journal go?

Well, if you want, you can just change the pass phrase. Or even create another one. LUKS supports multiple "key slots". Use `cryptsetup luksAddKey` and friends. Regards, Florian Philipp signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

IIRC, app-laptop/laptop-mode-tools sets this to 30 so I guess it is safe to use large values (besides the obvious risk of loosing data on system crashes).
