Jaunty Alternate Install LVM Encryption Defualts?
I would like to know what the defaults are for an encrypted lvm in the juanty alternate install CD.
This includes :
1.Mode of Operation ex: LRW, XTS
2. Hashing Algorithm (hash used to store the key) ex: SHA256 , Whirlpool
3. Encryption algorithm ex: AES256, Serpent256, Twofish256
4. keysize -- the size of the key in bits
I would like to know all of the options available if possible.
Also, does the installer write random data to the disk before encryption?
Most disk encryption guides start with : sudo dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/disk2crypt
If it doesn't that is fine...i can boot livecd and drop the command myself.
Furthermore, I have created an encrypted LVM from livecd... i would like the bootloader (grub) to prompt me for the password , then unlock the root encrypted LVM like it does after an encrypted LVM install with an alternate install CD.
I have looked at : https:/
Finally, Im wondering if I upgrade to the relase following Juanty if my system will still boot (with encrypted LVM)
Thank you in advance,
Dave
