Suggestion: Encrypted Swap

[stefanrusso]

Could you add an option for an encrypted swap partition inside the luks/lvm partition? Alternatively, whatever the current gentoo best practices are for an encrypted swap partition would be great.

I'll have a look at it when I have enough time. Seems it would fit within the spirit of the installer.

For anyone interested in this:
You will have to figure out create a disk layout with LVM on top LUKS.
Then add
disk_create_luks_lvm in here:

gentoo-install/scripts/functions.sh

Line 260 in 039d1a8

function disk_create_raid() {

Finally, you will have to add the correct parameters to the Linux cmdline when booting.

dracut --print-cmdline

Not necessarily. There are other ways to achieve an encrypted swap.

Adding a module to dracut that unlocks both root and swap during boot, for instance.
