Encrypted partition

English Install/Boot/Login
1

I’m trying to move away from TrueCrypt. I’ve used the Yast partioner to create an encrypted partion, but I can’t find a way to give myself full access as a user. I also can’t figure out how to mount/unmount it on demand, rather than on boot. The fstab entry is

/dev/mapper/cr_sda6    /home/chief/private    ext3    user,acl,user_xattr,noauto    0 0

I need some help troubleshooting this, can someone point me in the right direction?

If you look at tldp.org, you will find most of the common linux docs. Search the how-tos for mount and encryption. Alternately, install the how tos from the distro install disk.

Do you have a specific article in mind? I find several articles on disk encryption, but none seem to answer my question.
