[SOLVED] could not find LUKS encryption answer.../?
hey all,
i'm trying to encrypt my system with "luks"...
1.) cfdisk /dev/sda.. into sda1=boot sda5=root
2.) cryptsetup -c aes-xts-plain -y -s 512 luksFormat /dev/sda5
3.) cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sda5 root
enter passphrase
4.) /arch/setup
5.) configuration / mkinitcpio
MODULES=" ext2 reiserfs..."
HOOKS=" usb encrypt "
6.) install bootloader
reboot
as you can tell i'm using a passphrase setup with NO key file, the wiki page insn't really clear to me about rounding up my setup it's a about creating/using keys-files.
what do i miss ????

Re: [SOLVED] could not find LUKS encryption answer.../?
gregor,
I have several issues with this post.
First, please use a really descriptive title for any post. Think of all those who want to search the forums for some viable information. Thus please change the title accordingly.
Second, you did mark this single-post thread as [SOLVED] but I miss a description on how you solved it. Thus this post is merely worthless.
I refrained from simply dustbinning this. You may have some valuable information to add. So, please, do so.
To know or not to know ...
... the questions remain forever.
