<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 <literal>#</literal>
|
|
character are ignored. Each of the remaining lines describes one
|
|
encrypted block device. Fields are delimited by white space.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Each line is in the form<programlisting><replaceable>name</replaceable> <replaceable>encrypted-device</replaceable> <replaceable>password</replaceable> <replaceable>options</replaceable></programlisting>
|
|
The first two fields are mandatory, the remaining two are
|
|
optional.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Setting up encrypted block devices using this file supports
|
|
three encryption modes: LUKS, TrueCrypt and plain. See
|
|
<citerefentry project='die-net'><refentrytitle>cryptsetup</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>
|
|
for more information about each mode. When no mode is specified in
|
|
the options field and the block device contains a LUKS signature,
|
|
it is opened as a LUKS device; otherwise, it is assumed to be in
|
|
raw dm-crypt (plain mode) format.</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 file, or a specification of a block device via
|
|
<literal>UUID=</literal> followed by the UUID.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>The third field specifies the encryption password. If the
|
|
field is not present or the password is set to
|
|
<literal>none</literal> or <literal>-</literal>, the password has
|
|
to be manually entered during system boot. Otherwise, the field is
|
|
interpreted as an absolute 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>
|
|
