Title: Encrypted Partitions: Linux, dm-crypt, & LUKS
Post by: roo_ster on June 18, 2007, 03:49:39 PM

Howdy:

I have been trying get the /home partition to mount at startup with no love.

Objective: Encrypted /home /data and swap partitions (other partitions not encrypted: / & /boot) to mount at startup.

OS: centos 5.0  (Redhat Enterprise Linux 5.0 without Redhat logo)

How-To Followed: http://www.saout.de/tikiwiki/tiki-index.php?page=EncryptHomeDirUsingLUKS
(Only on /home partition so far)

Result: Successful with the exception of getting /home to mount at startup.  /home can be mounted manually by root after startup.

Anybody have experience with this sort of operation or what I'm doing wrong?

Have you checked the read/write/ execute permissions on all of the files that were changed?  A lot of times those will get changed during the editing process and won't allow the process to continue.
