Disruption is unavoidable. The tool I described earlier might be able
to encrypt in place, but it has to be done offline.
Thanks! I was wondering about this some more. Can I not put this tool luksipc on a LiveCD
and then compile and run it from there? Then the actual disks would be
"offline", isn't that correct?
Btw, I also tried building an RPM of the tool. But I am stuck in the step of installing in
the spec file.
The Makefile (for luksipc) does not have an install option. I can go up to the %build
section easily, but my .spec file has problems in the install stage.
Here are the operative portions of my specfile:
%prep
%setup -q
%build
make
%install
(what do I put in here?)
Many thanks for your time, and best wishes,
Ranjan
