|    stop auto-mounting dmcrypt/LUKS at boot?    |
|    10 Dec 07 15:55:32    |
      From: sm_hamham@flork.dk.invalid              Hey everybody,              I've recently set up an LUKS-encrypted raid mirror on my fileserver,       which went smoothly and is working just fine; manpages and a little       googling was all it took.              However, I now face the problem that the gentoo initscripts wants to       mount the partition at runtime, prompts for passphrase and has very long       timeout, which isn't very nice for a server that I want to be able to       remote-boot. I've been searching both the web and newsgroups, but       haven't been able to find a solution for this (indeed, my google-fu is       weak).              If I remove the entry from /etc/conf.d/dmcrypt , the auto-mounting (and       thus passphrase-asking) doesn't happen, which is just fine; having SSH       in and do cryptsetup manually is no problem. The problem with this       approach, however, is (obviously :)) that the crypt mapping isn't taken       down on boot/shutdown, so if I forget to do it manually, the raid won't       dismount cleanly.              Is there some clean way to not auto-mount but have auto-dismount on       shutdown, or should I go hunt for some existing shutdown script I can       hack a dismount line into?              Thanks in advance!              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
