The thought however, that I may lose my private key (never say > never), or lose a drive and need to access my data pronto from a back up > makes me somewhat nervous. Should I be more brave that this? Well it depends... First of all you should know that almost every LiveCD now include a cryptsetup/lvm implementation, Gentoo does, Ubuntu does ( not as is though you should apt-get cryptsetyp, AFAIK lvm already installed), so recovering data would not be that hard if you can open the partition... As for loosing the key, that's easy too, here's what I do: I create a small file from /dev/urandom and I use it as pass key SLOT, and store it somewhere safe, so if and when I forget all of the passwords I have, I use this key, it is safe. Anyway as I said above it actually depends, using dm-crypt will lower the performance of your machine which actually make sense since the data are encrypted before they are written to the disk (AFAIK I'm not really sure how it handles I/O operations, but I'm sure that writing a huge file to your HDD will result in a lot of CPU usage of the process 'kcryptd'), but using dm-crypt is very very secure, I use it because my laptop is with me every day when I go to the university so I need this kind of security... On the other hand if you don't need encryption, maybe you should stick with LVM...

[gentoo-user] Just a few questions.
Hello, I have a few questions that has been bugging me for a while, hope I find the answers I;m looking for :) I use zsh for shell, rxvt-unicode for Terminal emulator, urxvt runs with TERM rxvt-unicode, GNU Screen runs with the term screen-256color, now I'm not sure what's the issue, but when I login through GDM/KDM the colors inside screen are all messed up, here's 2 screenshots, the 1st one[1] is when gnome was started via usual startx command and the second[2] is for gnome session when started from GDM/KDM, the colors are not just messed up in zsh, in mutt and in every ncurses programs.. The second question is about a problem that has been bugging me for a while now, and it happend in ViM ruinning in X, Screen or Console... When I type a letter, erase it and type another letter, I'll get a weird char, not what I've typed, ex: the next quoted character is supposed to be a, and the one after that is f, and i see? "Ã¥" "ï¬" "ã«" ... I have no idea why this is happening but it's really annoying to have undetected error like these while scripting... Any ideas ?? The third problem is zsh related, anyway the problem is when I try to use zsh outside rxvt-unicode the keys Home, PgUP, PgDn and End does not work, in gnome-terminal instead of going to the beginning of the line, I get this instead: "H[2;A[0;G" Here's a screenshot of gnome-terminal[3]... This doesn't happen in bash.

I was thinking of having the below filesystem schema: / : ext3 (-j -O dir_index,sparse_super,filetype) (Good mkfs options ??) /usr: xfs (I never used it so please suggest mkfs.xfs options) /var: // /home : ext3 (-m 0 -j -O dir_index,sparse_super,filetype) (Good mkfs options ??) /usr/portage: ReiserFS (3? 4? options??) /mnt/storage: ext3 (-m 0 -j -O dir_index,sparse_super,filetype) (Good mkfs options ??) Could you please comment/complete/change the schema above ?? I really would like to speed up my system a little bit, My system is entirely built on LVM array, and LVM is on DM-CRYPT so as you can see it's a quite slow due to the encryption... Oh one last thing, What do you suggest for a server? I have a Gentoo server and uptime can be over 5/6 months, everytime I reboot the server I have to manually scan the filesystem due to errors everywhere, any suggestions??

[gentoo-user] Which arch do I have ?
