Mandiva 2009 vs encrypted partitions

Hello,

I've problem whith Mandriva 2009 RC2 and encrypted partition.
When I use Drakconf for creating encrypted partition, I get no error but
the partition isn't crypted, when I mount my partition, no password is
aked; and these 2 differents lines in /etc/fstab has the same effect :
the partition is mounted (without password) and I wand write/read on it:
/dev/mapper/isw_diihcfebde_Volume0p7 /data ext3
defaults,encryption=AES256 0 0

or

/dev/mapper/isw_diihcfebde_Volume0p7 /data ext3 defaults 0 0


I've the same problem if I try to create my encrypted partition manualy,
the command line :
losetup -e AES256 /dev/loop1 /dev/mapper/isw_diihcfebde_Volume0p7
get no error, but doesn't ask for password...

(I also use RAID1...)

some idea?

thanks! :-)

Hello Peter,

no that's not my bug : although I call "mount" manualy, I'm not prompted
for password and the partition is mounted (uncrypted).
I think it's a problem with losetup...
Also, is there a problem with encrypted partition on RAID volume???

regards,

Fabien

I haven't checked out 2009 yet, but since 2008.0, using losetup for
encrypted filesystems has been deprecated. See
[url]http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/Releases/Mandriva/2008.0/Notes#Support_for_loopback-based_encrypted_filesystems[/url]
try "/sbin/cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/mapper/isw_diihcfebde_Volume0p7 MapperName"
replacing MapperName with any name not currently in use under /dev/mapper.

The unencrypted filesystem would then be available as /dev/mapper/MapperName.

If drakconf was used to create the encrypted volume, there should be an entry
in /etc/crypttab, which would cause /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit to mount it, asking
for the password. I think drakconf adds the entry, after the filesystem has
been formatted, and the fstab entry created.
