I've written a short howto on creating and mounting an encrypted filesystem using dm-crypt. The doc currently lives on our internal wiki (Trac) at work, but I'd love to rewrite and post for a general readership. I suppose the proposed URL would be something like http://wiki.centos.org/TipsAndTricks/EncryptedFilesystem -- Paul Heinlein <> heinlein at madboa.com <>

OS: CentOS 5.0 x86. In the past while I was using SL 4.x. I was using BestCrypt. Now in CentOS 5.0, neither BestCrypt nor TrueCrypt seem to work. Is there any volume encryption or full HDD encryption that works with CentOS 5.0 out there (preferably in single-user mode)?

I'd like to edit the HowTo/EncryptedFilesystem page the note on how to create a valid keyfile. This is not a trivial action. Creating a plaintext file in vim does not qualify as a valid password. Instead, a valid keyfile is created by doing the following: echo -n "password" > keyfile.key which explicitly creates the file with password on the first line with an explicit

Im new to the list and CentOS and wonder if there is any option to do full disk encryption with dmcrypt and LUKS during the install stage of CentOS 5.1? I use Debian Etch at the moment and Debian is able to to this. If not possible, are there any good guides that anyone knows about that explain how to dmcrypt everything but /boot on CentOS manually? --andrew -- GnuPG Key ID: ECB18ABA

How do you change the LUKS filesystem password?

Hello all, I posted the whole disk encryption instructions in the forum that has been briefly discussed on the list. I joined the list per Ned's post on the thread. http://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?viewmode=flat&topic_id=15923&forum=42 I have a couple of questions about the process of creating a wiki. 1. How does the peer-review process work? 2. Is there a place

Dear all I was writing some code that needed functions from packages 'MASS' and 'CircStats', and I received a warning saying that the function 'eqscplot' in one of the packages was masked by another 'eqscplot' from the other package (in fact 'eqscplot' from 'CircStats' seems a short version of 'eqscplot' from 'MASS'). This masking of

Hi, I'm wondering why 48 %/% 2 gives 24 but 4.8 %/% 0.2 gives 23... I'm not trying to round up here, but to find out how many times something fits into something else, and the answer should have been the same for both examples, no? On a different topic, I like the behavior of NAs better in R than in SAS (at least they are not considered the smallest value for a variable), but at the
