Please let me know what you think...does this look correct? I just
encrypted my swap using the following command;
sudo ecryptfs-setup-swap
Here's what's in my crypttab-
# <target name> <source device> <key file> <options>
cryptswap1 /dev/sda6 /dev/urandom swap,cipher=aes-cbc-essiv:sha256
Here's what's in my Fstab; (I deleted a lot of the UUID numbers and
letters)
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# Use 'blkid -o value -s UUID' to print the universally unique
identifier
# for a device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name
# devices that works even if disks are added and removed. See fstab(5).
#
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
# / was on /dev/sdb5 during installation
UUID=xxxxxxxxxxxx-c2ea-4b91-b764-axxxxxxxxdb / ext4
errors=remount-ro 0 1
# swap was on /dev/sdb6 during installation
#UUID=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxce38cd7 none swap sw
0 0
/dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec,utf8 0
0
/dev/mapper/cryptswap1 none swap sw 0 0
How does it look to you?
