Thanks for the useful guide. I managed to encrypt a data-only partition (sda1) on my eeePC. It's NOT my /home/usr directory, and I'm not sure how to have it automount based on the example above.

Presently, the unmounted drive shows up as "4.0 GB Filesystem." If I click on it from Nautilus, I'm first prompted for the encryption key, and they for my user PW. Then drive then is decrypted and mounted with the less-than-desirable label of: 3485b5cd-00ff-4f24-84db-176742963f38 (!).


How should I modify the lines in /etc/security/pam_mount.conf and/etc/fstab for automount, please? OR, how can I force this drive to mount manually with a short, descriptive label? That would be preferable to the monstrosity cited above!

Many thanks.
