Thread: encrypted persistent home with HD install

    encrypted persistent home with HD install

    Hi! I am a beginner. I wanted to have an encrypted home (for my data, software configs, cookies, etc.) with an HD install of Knoppix 7 (yes it's just a Debian this way but I like the tools that are provided).

    My OS is on /dev/sdc2. My free drive was /dev/sda1. To configure:
    Code:
    sudo cryptsetup luksFormat -c aes -h sha256 /dev/sda1
    sudo cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sda1 home
    sudo mkfs.ext3 /dev/mapper/home
    Then I have to create a knoppix directory, a Desktop one, all with the right owner
    Code:
    sudo cryptsetup luksClose home
    It's ready! To use:
    Code:
    cd /
    sudo cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sda1 home
    sudo mount -t ext3 /dev/mapper/home /home/
    To leave:
    Code:
    sudo umount /dev/mapper/home
    sudo cryptsetup luksClose home
    Now I have to understand how I can bootup with Knoppix asking me for the password during the boot sequence...

    PS sorry for the long paragraph, I don't know what I should do to avoid that (I used the Enter key...)
