v3 or 4? Or, how are you encrypting your FS? Look at your boot scripts, and your initrd if you have one. You almost certainly have to remember a passphrase and back up a key. In any case, if you are looking for the file, you might want to ask SuSe. This only becomes a Reiser issue if you're using the reiser4 crypto plugin, and I haven't heard anything about that being done. If you are encrypting a ReiserFS v3 filesystem, you are probably not using anything Reiser specific -- it's probably something like cryptoloop or dm-crypt, in which case you should google for those. >>/swap 300mb >> >> >>As per the harddrive configuration, if my / partition becomes corrupted or >>if I choose to install a fresh copy of SuSe9.2 Pro over / and remount >>/home, what do need to backup or how do I backup the files needed to >>restore the encrypted partition /home Do you mean "remount" or "reformat"? If you are going to wipe out /home and reformat, you don't need to do anything other than back up the files in /home. If you are planning to wipe out / and reinstall, but keep /home, the config file you're looking for is /etc/fstab. That still doesn't tell you how to deal with the encryption, though. Until you can tell people what kind of encryption system you're using, no one will be able to help you, and the ReiserFS list will probably assume it's not their problem. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iQIVAwUBQldXpXgHNmZLgCUhAQI0HhAAgAIUclmsqicbVuSDg1ayKvgUL9zBHave Eef+Ckoid/Y29ByG4+6J9MlJmaAnC9lF/I6MkUQooMPoxl6HZCLc5uRfMBl11rIb mLpOOdR1SBRicNxNaI/3osfkciDR5bT47HTFoXWyqcVCX9DdjfEauNrVP+V8pvX2 iMmVqjG2BN9E5Kug/LecWvqHiWdIbTezp97Vych8vsLYNSdsZfqSuq/OfhI9xcPH c9ZPfM8yGltPvUezHAZ/G2X+5915XP2vzoXsw4BHMmGzf7tdGGQYMiGXDu4DrAvV KjgWFcPfBZ1smsU6wJooj6IBMrGdpQrQ91TWSKHaJcA/fXbNloF6w5U47F3fQ1YL U4gG36dTK3qt+55lfU8CA1MQXU9J5567zMSLnzPPasmfegz/JXcm6XZuRZM4YtwT g93DDs1rCPf+UZB+X6zYCXLMZD0ePkaq9wXWDMuaz65J/CXeIj9LDJ931K2XVjAR A+fSDsuQCQQ7N8tJOYIdmwuciKAwlTefr1Kcm0z+5MXDuv0SOSuhMkShcezJetaf malgqhigRt/Rf6xc83QCppohOFeh4fn2K7uRBfGsaZaTwsPiHM2gFzn8uoFCRvAv JMdFaJ2yVHiCFix6hICX01b2aXyNxRuo80963Da1U2Yp0ztU6fTjFPx0b34BDQLA QzAug1b05zA= =wFMK -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
