#3 Re: How To Migrate to a full encrypted LVM system Posted by mcortese (213.70.xx.xx) on Tue 29 Jan 2008 at 10:34 Good article: you managed to show simple steps that lead to an effective result! For sake of completeness, I think a note should be added just before the end of Part II, about formatting the newly created partitions: # mkfs.ext3 /dev/vg/root # mkfs.ext3 /dev/vg/myspace Then I cannot understand why you backed up the /home to the system tar and not to the data tar. As well as I do not understand the reason for backing up things under /media: either they are empty mountpoints and then they can be created anew with a simple mkdir, or they are bound to a mounted external storage, which will not be affected by changes to the local disk structure. In eiher cases I do not see the need for backing up. Finally, you dismissed the argument LVM-over-luks vs. luks-over-LVM with just a few words. Has anybody more info/benchmark/comments about that?
