Aw: Re: [gentoo-user] dm-crypt + ext4 = where will the journal go?

[Roland Häder]

I think I made a (tollerateable) mistake:

My hard drive has two partitions:
- sda1 - encrypted swap
- sda2 - encrypted root

How should it boot? One way could be by external media (e.g. stick), other is from hard drive. But that is encrypted. So I must leave a small area left for kernel, initrd, System.map and maybe config.

So the page at [1] is a little wrong because it misses the boot partition, so the new layout should be:
- sda1 - unencrypted boot (/boot) partition
- sda2 - encrypted swap (at least as double as your RAM) (crypt-swap)
- sda3 - encrypted root (crypt-root)

Can someone update this?

Regards,
Roland
