Re: [Xen-users] use of encrypted filesystem

[Chris Croome <chris@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi

I have set up some Xen machines with a regular ext3 /boot/ and LVM root
and swap on LVM on cryptsetup LUKS encrypted filesystem on a mirrored
software RAID pair of disks.

With this setup the encrypted partition needs to be decrypted before the
virtual machines are started but it has the advantage that the virtual
machines don't need to do any encryption and yet are fully encrypted.

I'll try and write this up on a wiki at some point... it's not as
complicated as it sounds...

I have done this with FC6 and I found this helpful:
