The following is how I have encrypted the /root, /home, and swap partitions on a disk already containing Windows 8.1 and only require a single passphrase entry on boot:
Create 500 MiB ext4 sda5 partition that will later be assigned as /boot
12 hours elapse.
When I do this over I will run crptysetup benchmark first to see which aes and sha works best for my system.
There was similar output for:
I may have needed to add an extra hyphen, like vg-ubuntu--root
Next I opened the Ubuntu 14.04 installer and selected 'something else'. I assigned /boot to the 500 MiB partition on sda5 and then /root, /home, and swap to the logical /dev/mapper/vg volumes.
After Ubuntu installs, before rebooting from the live USB I entered the following:
On reboot Ubuntu boots asking for only one entry of the passphrase instead of three, one for each encrypted volume.
==================================================================
The only problem remaining now is that although the /dev/mapper/vg-shared volume appears like any other partitionin /media/dusf/, and although I can open it without having to enter the passphrase again, I cannot create files on it.
I have tried replacing the command 'sudo mount /dev/vg/ubuntu-root /mnt' with 'sudo mount /dev/vg/shared /mnt' but then when i go onto the next command 'sudo chroot /mnt mount /proc' it gives me the error 'chroot: failed to run command ‘mount’: No such file or directory'.
Can anyone tell me how I should edit the following commands so that /dev/vg/-shared not only mounts at boot, but I can also write to it?
