In February or so I swapped from SLED 11 to OpenSUSE 11.2 (x86_64 in both
cases) before going overseas for a while and opted for full disk
encryption (minus /boot). I think the steps I followed were these:
http://lizards.opensuse.org/2009/03/18/encrypted-root-file-system-on-lvm/
The steps above worked really well (I didn’t realize at the time that 11.2
supported encryption already) and yesterday decided to go to 11.3 x86_64
(Gnome-base). During the installation when Yast first comes up I was
delighted to have a prompt for my disk’s passphrase and even
more-delighted when it took it, found my partitions, and kept on going. I
setup the system and didn’t have anything unexpected. As a note I don’t
usually do “upgrades” and instead formatted /boot and / rather than
leaving stuff behind. Pretty nice all around. Well done. Now, no more
11.2 questions.
