Description:
When using a key file with cryptsetup, it's possible to specify a sector offset and key size so that only a portion of the supplied key file is used. This patch adds that capability to the "encrypt" hook for initcpio. The revised synopsis is shown below. cryptkey=/dev/<partition2>:<fstype>:<path>:<offset>:<size> This is already supported when the keyfile is a block device but not when it is a file. Additional info: * /usr/lib/initcpio/hooks/encrypt * cryptsetup 1.6.6-1 This feature request compliments another request: Steps to reproduce: |
