why don't you use /etc/rc.d/gbde? (btw, which version of FBSD?).
Heh, because I didn't know about it! Thanks, this looks like the
cleanest solution.
How do I use this script? If I interpret the source correctly, I
should just set
gbde_devices-auto="AUTO"
in /etc/rc.conf and enter my encrypted partition in the fstab?
Actually, the variable ${gbde_devices-auto} in /etc/rc.d/gdbe is almost
certainly a typo. I changed it to ${gbde_devices_auto}.
Additionally, one has to set
gbde_lock_[device]=/path/to/lockfile or
gbde_lockdir=/path/to/lockdir [where the lockfile(s) must
have the encrypted slice's name and a '.lock' extension
in /etc/rc.conf.
Having done this, i have a solution for mounting encrypted partition at
boot, which seems perfectly clean to me. Wonderful.
Dummy question: Where should I look to find documentation about
scripts like this? I haven't found it mentioned in either the
handbook or the manpages.
I don't know. It might not be documented so well yet, but there's an
rc mailing list, try search the archive:
