hi there,
i have decided to create an encrypted usb stick that
would be the rsynced backup of my $HOME.
i started by reading softraid(4). and its only example
looks scary -- it destroys all data on sd0, my main
drive for years :] i know, it is only an _example_
and should never be copied verbatim, but perhaps it
also doesnt have to be something so in-my-face
desctructive just becuse it is an example, especially
when i am trying to do something totally new and
potentionally very destructive...
it was not clear to me right from the beginning that
the raid volume to be created will be "just another"
sd* drive (some other systems have special devices),
explaining that was left enterily to the example,
and me having only sd* drives (hard drives, memory
cards, usb sticks) it is not a very useful one
for me...
i also had a look at the FAQ: 14.21.5 - Softraid Crypto
and there is this paragraph that does not seem to work:
"""
Once this is set up, you can then "unlock" the crypto volume when desired with:
# bioctl -c C -l /dev/sd1m
Passphrase: My Crypto Pass Phrase
softraid0: CRYPTO volume attached as sd1
You can then mount the encrypted volume's partitions using mount as usual.
"""
i am not sure what "unlock" means. but the command does
not work, bioctl(4) always takes a device parameter
according to the man page.
but so far so good. the stick appears to be under bioctl's care
and i could mount it. i will still have to experiment with
hotplug and friends, and what exactly does
"softraid0: roaming device sd2a -> sd1a"
mean, as sd2 is the sd card reader showing up as a usb device...
