mount truecrypt volumes using system encryption passphrase
Hi,
from a previous windows setup I have two truecrypt encrypted harddrives. I can mount these without any problem during my fedora session with:
sudo /sbin/cryptsetup open --type tcrypt /dev/sdb2 stuff sudo /sbin/cryptsetup open --type tcrypt /dev/sdb2 otherstuff
I have automated this process with the help of [1]. However, this is stil a bit tedious as I have to type the same passphrase is a bit long and I have to type it twice. I could just write a script storing my passphrase but this would be a vulnerability as the script can be read by anyone. I thought about storing the passphrase in the keyring, but I prefer not to save the passphrase on the pc. Additionally I have no Idea how to do this because I only found an incomplete tutorial for arch linux[2].
Since I use the same passphrase for the truecrypt drives as I do for the system drive, I wonder if I can mount these during startup with the passphrase to unlock the system partition. I am new to Fedora any help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance!
