If you're correct that a kernal cannot find an encrypted rootfs, then by the same token it cannot find an encrypted initrd, either. So, what have you really gained? In any event, I think you are incorrect. Here's a runthrough that Pavel Kogan wrote, and nothing he describes requires an initrd. He _does_ use a RAMdisk to store the keyfile after booting, but that's a different matter. http://www.pavelkogan.com/2014/05/23/luks-full-disk-encryption/ > >Anyway, I don't want to encrypt all discs on my Linux server for > > Well, server may be a special case. It's funny how all the new Linux kiddies keep wanting to dismiss what I've been doing since 1993 on Linux (and since the 1980s on other *nixes) as a 'special case'. Both funny-haha and funny-peculiar. > Well, I want it. Happily, I'm not standing in your way. _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
