Re: Late encryption of /home Partition
Hi all,
as far as I know, you also have to edit /etc/crypttab.
If one has forgotten to encrypt a partition, the easiest way is, to boot from
a livefile system. Then backup the whole content of this partition to an
external partition. Note, this should be a ext3 or ext4 partition, so you
preserve all hard- and softlinks.
I suggest for using rsync doing this.
Then you can encrypt and format this partion and rsync everything back.
Doing so, I never lost data or settings.
Hope this helps.
Best regards
Hans
