  • Linux has had disk encryption for a while now, it just hasn't had the friendly frontend that OS/X and Vista have put on it, and instead make the user resort to typing in cryptic commands like dd and cryptsetup and dealing with terms like 'loop-AES' and 'LUKS'.

  • I ran this command as root cryptsetup luksOpen/dev/sda1 sda1 and mounted my partition as normal user but then, the partition becomes "READONLY".

  • If there's no way to know, then I believe I can boot from the install DVD after the upgrade is complete, run the cryptsetup LUKSOPEN, vgscan, vgmount, mount the encrypted LVM root, chroot into it, mount the/boot partition, and run fdisk - l to see what I have.

  • I've been told cryptsetup is great for this and that one would need to make partitions, containers, etc.. completely lost and scared to try anything without a complete tutorial including the partition parts.

  • - C Use cryptsetup to unlock the underlying device of an encrypted root filesystem (must be used with '- r' parameter).

  • Install the required packages: apt-get install cryptsetup hashalot

  • The current cryptsetup in Debian unstable already supports LUKS, which was not the case a while ago, if I'm not mistaken.
