About the only reason I could see for that being the case is that the release(8) process is hard-coded to use vnd0 for making disk images. If you already have vnd0 mounted as a crypto device, you won't be able to make the installer images. Aside from that, I see nothing that would preclude you from using something other than a file as a source of blocks for vnd0 to use. CK -- GDB has a 'break' feature; why doesn't it have 'fix' too?

Hello, perhaps this HowTo will help you ? http://geektechnique.org/projectlab/797/openbsd-encrypted-nas-howto See you :) Guillaume. --- carlopmart a icrit : Hi all, How can I encrypt a whole partition with OpenBSD 4.1 or 4.2-current?? I only info about encrypt image files and not partitions many thanks.

In this howto only explains howto encrypt sparse files and not partitions .. the technique in the article does not only apply to sparse files. have an encrypted /var on some of my webservers and the procedure is identical to what's in the link further down (starts with the dd-ing of an image file). do note it's not possible to encrypt all partitions using vnconfig. for the time being this is the best you can do: encrypt images and mount them after using vnconfig.

Thanks jacob, but I have received an email from openbsd's developer
that it isn't possible to encrypt partitions or disks ... only image
files created by dd command ...
