- Subject: [Cooker] Encrypted partitions : why /var cannot be encrypted?
- Date: 30 Sep 2003 07:06:41 -0000
During installation (using 9.1), when you create the partitions it is possible to choose the option "encrypted" for some partitions like /home or /tmp, but it is not possible to choose /var (an error says something like : "/var cannot be located on an encrypted partition").
Why /var cannot be on an encrypted partition ? I see no reason preventing to do that...
It would be a good thing to be able to encrypt /home /var and /tmp.
