one of those things for which the docs are tantalizingly incomplete -- what is the minimal amount of work i need to do to simply create and mount an encrypted ext3 filesystem on FC2?
as a start, i installed using LVM2, creating a single volume group "vol0". so, to create an encrypted filesystem, i first added a new LV with:
# lvcreate --size 1G --name crypt vol0
which correctly created the new files:
/dev/vol0/crypt -> /dev/mapper/vol0-crypt
so far, so good.
at this point, based on the docs, i would run "cryptsetup", but there's no incantation i've tried that works. there's no man page for cryptsetup, and everything i try comes back with:
# cryptsetup ... Command failed: invalid argument.
not overly helpful. :-P
(by the way, given that "aes" is the default cipher, i figured out quickly that i needed to "modprobe aes" first.)
so ... what's the rest of the recipe to get my encrypted FS?
