... I made a patch for initscripts-7.93.24.EL, that adds support for mounting encrypted devices at boot time. It uses dm-crypt & cryptsetup for the encrypted filesystems. It would be nice to get it upstream, so I've made a version of the patch to suit initscripts-8.33. It is available here: http://patches.jethrocarr.com/initscripts-8.33-encryptedfs.patch Unfortunately, I don't run fedora, so I haven't been able to give it a proper test. However, there should be no problems with it. I've also got some RPMS available here: http://packages.jethrocarr.com/SRPMS/initscripts-8.33-1.1.jethrocarr.src.rpm http://packages.jethrocarr.com/RPMS/i386/initscripts-8.33-1.1.jethrocarr.i386.rpm if you have any questions/comments/requests, feel free to ask them. :-) thanks, -- Jethro Carr
I have now tested the RPMS's above on Fedora Core 5 (now my main desktop). :-) I fixed a problem with the patch for fedora, so you'll want to re-download them if you already downloaded them. They now work perfectly. :-) cheers, -- Jethro Carr
Thanks for the patches. A different encrypted filesystem support has been added to rawhide initscripts, hopefully compatible with the Debian configuration files. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 127378 ***
