This fills each partition with pseudorandom data from the not-so-random libc pseudorandom source # sudo /sbin/badblocks -c 10240 -s -w -t random -v /dev/sda5įill the partitions with random data. This will take several minutes for each partition. Before you can start, you need to load the following modules:Ĭheck the future encrypted LVM physical partition for errors.

First you'll need to edit your /etc/apt/sources.list and uncomment the universe repository entries, update your package list and install cryptsetup, initramfs-tools, hashalot, lvm2. I did all necessary preparation with the live cd. John suggested installing Ubuntu on an unencrypted primary partition. Create a logical partition with rest of the created extended partition, sda5 in this example.įor further preparation you'll need a working internet connection. Create an extended partition for the left space on the disc. Make one partition of 100MB for /boot which is sda1 in this example. Partition your harddisc using some partition editor, fdisk or System->Administration->Gnome Partition Editor. The physical volume below the volume group is configured on top an encrypted partition.įollow the steps outline below for Ubuntu 6.06 using the Ubuntu 7.04 desktop install disk. The other partitions all reside on one volume group in lvm. The steps are basically the same as for Ubuntu 6.06.įirst of all, I want to thank John Bindel for the inspiration and Ilkka Tuohela for the right hint to get everything working. It gave me the inspiration to try it with Ubuntu 7.04. It is based on the howto below written by John Bindel. This howto describes the aspects to be noticed installing Ubuntu 7.04 on an encrypted LVM partition.
