Encrypting only /home? - theResonant - 10-01-2021
I'd like to create a new flashable Manjaro+Plasma image, but with an encrypted partition dedicated to the /home folder and a corresponding entry in /etc/crypttab. When the phone boots up, I would expect a passphrase prompt (will it happen?). How would I be able to type in a passphrase on the screen, given that it the OS hasn't booted up completely yet? Is there a way to add a virtual keyboard at boot time?
Or better yet: is it possible to delay the decryption until after the phone boots up, but just before the first lock screen? That way, a virtual keyboard would be more feasible. This is how Sailfish X did it, anyway. Any ideas would be very welcome.
