Hi list!
I think I have problems understanding the way /etc/conf.d/cryptfs works.
My goal is to open a Luks-mapping for /var with a gpg-encrypted file
on /boot and then open a mapping for /var/tmp with a plaintext file
on /var.
I thought it would work with the following settings:
/etc/conf.d/cryptfs
target=var
source='/dev/mapper/vg-crypt_var'
key='/boot/key.gpg:gpg'
target=var_tmp
source='/dev/mapper/vg-crypt_var_tmp'
key='/var/lib/tmp_key'
___________
/etc/fstab
/dev/mapper/var /var reiserfs [...]
/dev/mapper/var_tmp /var/tmp reiserfs [...]
___________
I've read the warning in /etc/conf.d/cryptfs about /usr on a separate
partition and followed their advice.
However, the setup doesn't work. I'm not asked for the passphrase, the
mappings are not created. What did I forget?
Thanks in advance!
