crypttab and openRC


Recommended Posts

Hi,

 

On one of my laptops I have gone encrypted along with syslinux. To get there I had to hack the initrd scripts a bit but well, I got it working. In some documentation I have come across (funtoo, gentoo, and arch linux) there are quite some references to /etc/crypttab that seems to be used along with systemd but are there any scripts making use of crypttab in if  open RC is used?

And well, what is the role of /etc/config.d/dmcrypt in this case? Will it be included in the initramfs and deal with root and swap before root is mounted or will it execute after root is mounted and take care of the rest (swap, home etc)?

 

None of the the guides I read mentioned this file :(

I stick with genkernel and the slightly modified scripts (my own modifications).

 

Most guides refer to another initrd-script set but I prefer Funtoo original flavour - thats why I use Funtoo instead of Gentoo ;)
