It's great to see that encrypted filesystems on Linux are finally coming to maturity.
But with RHEL5.3's support for encrypted block devices, I don't see any explanation about how to mount the filesystem later, rather than interrupting the bootup before networking even starts. Since it's primarily intended as a server OS, this seriously impacts the usability of this feature. Is this supported at all? It also encourages leaving encrypted filesystems mounted full-time, which is a reasonable security model for a laptop, but often the benefit of an encrypted filesystem on a server is realized by unmounting it (well and removing the plaintext device) when not in use. Thanks. _______________________________________________ rhelv5-list mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rhelv5-list
