similar to: [How-To?] Using Syslinux AltMBR + TrueCrypt System Encryption (RFE: swap drive ID's)

Hi, I'm trying to use the altmbr.bin that came with 3.80 on an ATA IDE drive. When I boot I get this error msg: > Missing operating system. > > No bootable devices--strike F1 to retry boot, F2 for setup utility. The first line is coming from syslinux, the final line is my BIOS offering for me to retry. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- PC: Dell D500 notebook, P4 1.4GHz

Hello, when i mount a truecrpyt volume with truecrypt 5.1a and synchronize data locally with rsync (version 2.6.9 protocol version 29) like this way: $ truecrypt myvolume.tc $ rsync -av /home/oliver/myfolder /media/truecrypt The myfolder is copied to /media/truecrypt like it should. But when i dismount the truecrypt volume and mount it again: $ truecrypt -d /media/truecrypt $ truecrypt

Has anyone built and installed truecrypt 6.1a on CentOS 5.3. When I build it it keeps failing here: Compiling EncryptionOptionsWizardPage.cpp Forms/EncryptionOptionsWizardPage.cpp: In member function ?TrueCrypt::SharedPtr<TrueCrypt::EncryptionAlgorithm> TrueCrypt::EncryptionOptionsWizardPage::GetEncryptionAlgorithm() const?: Forms/EncryptionOptionsWizardPage.cpp:45: error: no matching

Hi all, Has anyone used TrueCrypt on a XEN based machine before? I'm running CentOS 5.3 with kernel 2.6.18 but when I launch TrueCrypt, it keeps on telling me I need kernel 2.6.24 or later. "Your system uses an old version of the Linux Kernel. Due to a bug in the Linux Kernel, your system may stop responding when writing data to a TrueCrypt volume. This problem can be solved by

Just a small question. ============== I was really just meaning to ask whether there are issues with running truecrypt inside a samba share. My system had never had any issues but now I was writing to a folder that is a truecrypt mount inside a samba share and the smbd process writing into it blocked or is still "D" waiting for IO and I cannot kill it. So the question was whether

Hi, altmbr.bin and its variants apparently always boot the first partition (in Syslinux 4.05, but this issue seems older than that). The following example uses parted 3.0: ---------- rm -f flat mkdir mnt truncate -s 20M flat parted -s flat mklabel msdos mkpart primary fat32 1MiB 10485759B mkpart primary ext2 11MiB 100% unit KiB print losetup -o 1048576 -s 9437184 /dev/loop7 flat mkdosfs

I have a WD Elements 2TB USB hard drive. I would like to encrypt the whole drive with TrueCrypt on my CentOS box. Could someone direct me to a tutorial on how to do this? Ideally, I would also like to access it with my WinXP box, but this part is optional. Thanks for your help. Mike.

I have seen people say both that rsync can efficiently copy truecrypt volumes. I got it working once with deltacopy but as I'm trying to get it to work from the command line, I cannot. It just transfers the whole file. I am using -rvs -inplace switches. Does anybody have any suggestions? _____________________________ Stephen Zemlicka Integrated Computer Technologies PH.

Is there option for deleting xattr-s same as --delete for files, because it seems deletion of xattr don't sync, however it is synced when data of file change, see example below. Maybe this is a bug or maybe this is ok? System gentoo attr-2.4.32, rsync form today cvs. -- Regards Stanislaw Gruszka stasiu@sg /mnt/hda5/export $ echo "data" > file stasiu@sg /mnt/hda5/export $

Hi, i am trying to document the MBR selection by isohybrid option --partok. I assume it is related to "altmbr.bin" as described in http://www.syslinux.org/wiki/index.php/Mbr But there i read "altmbr.bin [...] boots from a partition with fixed number, see below." The "see below" probably refers to "The altmbr.bin (all 3 variants) is only 439 bytes long, -- one
