Hello, thanks for your response, Neil! As for dmcrypt usage, what do you think about truecrypt or pgp whole disk encryption as alternatives to dmcrypt? I would like to have only one partition with all home directories on it, and I would like to avoid usage of initrd as I don't use it now and I would like to keep it that way if possible.
