Hi,
I have installed an Ubuntu machine with two encrypted LUKS partitions: one for /
and one for /home
.
I've reinstalled the machine to upgrade to 10.04. Again, the /
is installed using LUKS, and I'm able to mount the /home
using:
mkdir /media/home
sudo cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sda2 home
sudo mount -t ext3 /dev/mapper/home /media/home
The problem is, this cryptfs mapper disappears after boot, so I putting the appropriate line in fstab fails.
How do I set the cryptfs to prompt for password and unlock the drive at boot?
Thanks,
Adam
