(I don't see it anymore (on the 5.3 > todo list) in releng pages.) 5.2 already has support for attaching GBDE volumes at boot by using the /etc/rc.d/gbde script. I have been using it for a while, and it works OK. I sent a patch yesterday to the freebsd-rc mailing list make the gbde rc.d script work a bit better (see http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FreeBSD-rc/message/659 ). > As a fstab is concerned with mount hack, this is the right approach I think it's better to just use a rc.d script to attach gbde volumes before the normal filesystem mount, since it seems more "clean". Of course the rc.d script could be enhanced e.g. to support random keys, like your "temp" feature. --=20 Simon L.
