Hello, thanks for your response, Neil! <br>As for dmcrypt usage, what do you think about truecrypt or pgp whole disk encryption as alternatives to dmcrypt?<br>I would like to have only one partition with all home directories on it, and I would like to avoid usage of initrd as I don&#39;t use it now and I would like to keep it that way if possible.<br>

<br>
</div>Do you want a single encrypted filesystem, or separately encrypted home<br>
directories for each user. for the former, emerge cryptsetup, use it to<br>
create the encrypted block device and set it up in /etc/conf.d/dmcrypt.<br>
<br>
For individually encrypted home directories, using ecryptfs on top of a<br>
standard filesystem, as used by Ubuntu, is probably the best way.<br>
