First: Better use the LUKS variant - emerge cryptsetup-luks. See http://luks.endorphin.org for details. Make sure your kernel has support for dm-crypt + the hash and cipher algorithm(s) you want to use compiled either as module or into the kernel directly. If this is the case, you can then cryptsetup -y -c aes -h ripemd160 -s 256 luksFormat /dev/sda5 cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sda5 home HTH... Dirk
