 Posted: Sun Jun 03, 2012 10:26 am Post subject: How do I mount an encrypted fs from Live DVD? |
 |
|
I think the subject sums it up well. I am playing with the 12.1 Hybrid Live DVD on a 64bit i7 laptop before installing. I have used a number of distros in the past but this is my first foray with gentoo.
My home is encrypted on a separate partition and would like to mount it from the the Live DVD. Of course I have the key. How would I go about doing this? |

Encrypted how? Luks?
| Code: | | cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/$cryptedpartition $somename [-d /path/to/keyfile] |
If you omit a keyfile, you'd be asked to enter the passphrase by hand.
If that worked, | Code: | | mount /dev/mapper/$somename /some/path |

Unfortunately didn't work. Someone mentioned in another thread that Ubuntu encrypts by ecryptfs. Would you know how I could mount using that? |
