Is there a way to mount (read/write) an encrypted file system on Windows? By "encrypted" I mean whatever it is that Ubuntu does to encrypt a file system when you choose that option during formatting. The underlying file system is in NTFS format.
A related question: is it correct to assume that encrypting and the file system format are completely independent things?
I would like to create a 100GB file to use as a file-system. The file will be stored on an encrypted volume, so the file/file-system itself does not need to be (further) encrypted. Searching has revealed many different methods of doing this. Some use losetup, some don't.
Hi,
I'd like to migrate my current F16 install to an encrypted rootfs.
(I want to avoid a time consuming fresh install followed by a reconfiguration)
Assuming I have a spare disk to play with :) is there a how-to move an installation from a non-encrypted disk/partition to an encrypted disk/partition ?
(in a future upgrade safe mode, i.e.
I have been assured that this is possible, but have so far not found any reference that will clue me as to how to do it. I need to deploy an "appliance" with software and data that the user is permitted to use, but which I would prefer to keep them from poking around inside. The user will not have root access, so the running system should be protected.
Recently I tried to copy 200GB to a 1TB external / USB2 / encrypted disk and it took 36 hours. The same copy when the disk was not encrypted took no longer than 1 hour.
I am using dm-crypt (LUKS) with the default cipher and ext4 filesystem. I would like to know what I can do to optimize the performance.
Hi,
another problem that I seem to always experience when a new SuSE version comes along (in this case of course 11.3) is to get access to my encrypted file systems.
The good news for SuSE 11.3 is that encrypted partitions on usb drives can be quite easily mounted at least in KDE. The partions were created with 11.2 if I remember correctly.
About a month or so I encrypted my 1TB drive.
I have a SSD that the OS, Fedora 17, is installed on, but I also have a HDD, this 1TB drive that I encrypted.
Everything was going fine.
I have a computer where both / and /home are encrypted with LUKS. I'd like to install Plops boot manager though. I'm worried that it will overwrite data when it installs, because the Plop installer runs before the encrypted disks are mounted, so I don't think it has any way of knowing that it's about to overwrite encrypted data.
This is an interesting little use case I've dreamed up, and I'd like to know how I might go about it.
I have 2 drives in my system, sda and sdb. sda currently contains /boot and /, the latter of which is encrypted. sdb contains /home, and is encrypted using a key file stored in /root.
