[SOLVED] full disk encryption
Hi,
i have bought myself a new laptop and i want to install arch with full disk encryption on it. I tried to do the installation in virtual machine to see how it works. I have followed the wiki (installation guide and LUKS).
my setup:
/dev/sda1 unencrypted /boot /dev/sda2 encrypted / /dev/sda5 encrypted /home /dev/sda6 encrypted swap
mkinitcpio.conf: HOOKS="base udev autodetect pata scsi sata encrypt filesystems usbinput fsck"
syslinux.cfg: APPEND cryptdevice=/dev/sda2:cryptroot root=/dev/mapper/cryptroot ro
fstab: /dev/mapper/cryptroot / ext4 rw,relatime,data=ordered 0 2
after reboot i got these messages: scrot
Any idea what have I forgot or did wrong?
Thanks

Re: [SOLVED] full disk encryption
Mkinitcpio.conf looks fine. Its a bit odd that you're never prompted for a passphrase and that you don't have a cryptkey specified. Can you post he output of lsinitcpio -a for the image?
FYI fstab is irrelevant when talking about early userspace.

Re: [SOLVED] full disk encryption
I'm no expert on those things, although i have to ask if you did use LVM along with LUKS ?
According to wiki https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Dm … _LVM_setup for volume to mount early in boot process you have to add "lvm2" hook in mkinitcpio.conf.

you need to add lvm2 only if you use LVM on LUKS on vice versa. I did not used LVM, so it wasnt necessary for me...
Anyway... this thread wont be much useful... can i delete it?
