Re: Encrtyped /tmp & swap at boot not using luks
I have 2 situations that I'm testing out 1) Encrypted /tmp that's in memory 2) Encrypted /tmp that's on the hard disk Encrypting /tmp in memory was something I saw when reading about best practices for servers that have a long uptime (don't get rebooted often). I am currently testing out encrypting ...

Re: Encrtyped /tmp & swap at boot not using luks
still don't seem to have found a working encrypted /tmp solution as right now it just sits on the CentIS 6.9 screen with the full whitebar.

Re: Encrtyped /tmp & swap at boot not using luks
so its better not to put /tmp in tmpfs and just put it in the hard drive? In that case is it better to be in it's own encrypted partition /tmp or in an already encrypted partition with /tmp mounted from it?

Re: Encrtyped /tmp & swap at boot not using luks
Turning swappiness down to 1 seems to have disabled swap for all purposes as far as I can see when I do df -h. Like IPv6, what I've seen said disabling swap completely can cause issues and the recommended practice to set the swappiness to one. What is the benefit of completely disabling swap in the ...

Re: Encrtyped /tmp & swap at boot not using luks
I have swappiness turned down to 1 so it shouldn't activate but I like to prepare for a just in case senario. The swap settings are just for if it's needed and mainly just trying to get /tmp encrypted both when it's in ram or when it's on the disk.

Encrtyped /tmp & swap at boot not using luks
I'm running into some issues trying to setup encrypted /tmp and swap partitions without using luks. Since these servers need to be reachable remotely we can't have an on boot password so I was using the /dev/urandom to set the key each time it's rebooted. In addition, I would also like to use tmpfs ...

Re: CentOS 7.3 Installation (Anaconda) failure and SSD on NVMe
Did you try disabling the Virtualization I/O in the bios for the install?
