I've been looking at mechanism for setting up an encrypted filesystem
under Etch, and I have the basics working as follows:
a. Initial Setup
1. apt-get install cryptosetup
2. modprobe dm-mod
3. cryptsetup -y create chda14 /dev/hda14
4. mkfs -t ext3 /dev/mapper/chda14
5. mkdir /home2
6. mount /dev/mapper/chda14 /home2
b. Subsequent activation
1. modprobe dm-mod
2. cryptsetup create chda14 /dev/hda14
3. mount /dev/mapper/chda14 /home2
Now I want to streamline things so that all I have to do is run
/etc/init.d/cryptdisks
I have added the line
chda14 /dev/hda14
to /etc/crypttab, and the line
/dev/mapper/chda14 /home2 ext3 defaults,noauto 0 1
to /etc/fstab.
However it seems that I need to add an entry to /etc/modprobe.d in
order to get the device mapper module loaded. Or should it be
/etc/modules.conf or /etc/modules that I edit?
Is this expected behavior - should I not have expected that
installing cryptosetup to have done this?
Is there anything else I need to do?
I am using the 2.6.15-1-686 kernel.
Thanks,
