<title>Description</title>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>The <filename>/etc/crypttab</filename> file
|
||||
describes encrypted block devices that are set up
|
||||
during system boot.</para>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>Empty lines and lines starting with the #
|
||||
character are ignored. Each of the remaining lines
|
||||
describes one encrypted block device, fields on the
|
||||
line are delimited by white space. The first two
|
||||
fields are mandatory, the remaining two are
|
||||
optional.</para>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>The first field contains the name of the
|
||||
resulting encrypted block device; the device is set up
|
||||
within <filename>/dev/mapper/</filename>.</para>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>The second field contains a path to the
|
||||
underlying block device, or a specification of a block
|
||||
device via <literal>UUID=</literal> followed by the
|
||||
UUID. If the block device contains a LUKS signature,
|
||||
it is opened as a LUKS encrypted partition; otherwise
|
||||
it is assumed to be a raw dm-crypt partition.</para>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>The third field specifies the encryption
|
||||
password. If the field is not present or the password
|
||||
is set to none, the password has to be manually
|
||||
entered during system boot. Otherwise the field is
|
||||
interpreted as a path to a file containing the
|
||||
encryption password. For swap encryption
|
||||
<filename>/dev/urandom</filename> or the hardware
|
||||
device <filename>/dev/hw_random</filename> can be used
|
||||
as the password file; using
|
||||
<filename>/dev/random</filename> may prevent boot
|
||||
completion if the system does not have enough entropy
|
||||
to generate a truly random encryption key.</para>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>The fourth field, if present, is a
|
||||
comma-delimited list of options. The following
|
||||
options are recognized:</para>
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
for possible values and the default
|
||||
value of this option. A cipher with
|
||||
unpredictable IV values, such as
|
||||
<literal>aes-cbc-essiv:sha256</literal>,
