Help:"Protecting Data w/ Encrypted Linux Partitions"

With the following command you can check all mounted devices with their options:

cat /etc/mtab

Example:

SERVI:~# cat /etc/mtab
/dev/sda1 / ext3 rw,errors=remount-ro 0 0
tmpfs /lib/init/rw tmpfs rw,nosuid,mode=0755 0 0
proc /proc proc rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev 0 0
sysfs /sys sysfs rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev 0 0
procbususb /proc/bus/usb usbfs rw 0 0
udev /dev tmpfs rw,mode=0755 0 0
tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs rw,nosuid,nodev 0 0
devpts /dev/pts devpts rw,noexec,nosuid,gid=5,mode=620 0 0
/dev/sdf1 /media/sdf1 ext2 rw 0 0

You can see all options that were used during mount as rw read-write or ro read-only
Hope that helps you ...

Thanks.

I was able to finish all the tutorial instructions up to the last script and encountered no error. It took me 3 times to delete partition and start all over again.

So I was happy at first but the problem was when I tried to mount crypted partition, it gave me an error that the partition does not exist.

So I just deleted and will try again later. I will give your suggestion a shot.

Thanks!
