Hello everyone, after trying to use and fix live-helpers encrypted persistent home feature, and not getting anywhere, although I think its a redirection problem in the live script itself or something related to this bug: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=507722 (I really don't know), I've decided to try to adapt this: http://lists.debian.org/debian-live/2009/04/msg00186.html to a partition.
After having a working huge monster hook with 5 KB of size, while reading once more Jeff Lessem mail (thank you for the inspiration Jeff), I read the following and bells rang: (sorry, I don't have the mail, here is a snip of the important part) ---- http://lists.debian.org/debian-live/2009/04/msg00186.html ------ echo >> /etc/fstab <<EOF /dev/mapper/home /home ext2 defaults,noatime 0 0 EOF ... >From this point (unless I'm forgetting a step) cryptsetup should figure out what to do during the boot process. At some point it will ask for your password to decrypt the luks partition. ---- http://lists.debian.org/debian-live/2009/04/msg00186.html ------ The answer between the lines it was! So creating the following script was so simple and quick compared with my monster 5 KB hook I was working on. Debian is just so Debian... Anyway here it is, still with some TODO/FIXME stuff that people here could help :) Rui M. P. Bernardo
