I have a bit of chicken-and-egg problem trying to get encrypted |
| 2 |
removable devices to work as "normal" as possible. |
| 3 |
Using Loop-AES and a GPG-encrypted key I had no problems encrypting my |
| 4 |
external FW drive, but to pass all the options to losetup without |
| 5 |
entering them by hand every time, I need an fstab entry. The drive shows |
| 6 |
up as /dev/sda, but putting /dev/sda1 there is no good as it would try |
| 7 |
to use Loop-AES on *every* external drive. So far I could just use |
| 8 |
volume labels in my fstab to distinguish any number of drives---well, I |
| 9 |
used to until hald/dbus made that automatic. But now there are no labels |
| 10 |
any more as they get encrypted as well. |
| 11 |
Has anyone come up with a solution for this yet? I could imagine some |
| 12 |
plugin for the hotplug system that checks /proc/scsi/scsi for a certain |
| 13 |
model before mounting. Not the cleanest solution either but as my |
| 14 |
external drives are different models it would work for me. I don't have |
| 15 |
much of a clue about the hotplug system though... |
