It's pretty much as I had figured things to be. I haven't heard of ecryptfs before though, will have to look that up. To expand a bit on what I was thinking of, I've got a couple partitions that aren't necessary to boot encrypted already, and I enter the pass phrase, and mount them by hand. I was however also considering encrypting swap partitions, of which I have 2 on this system (long story). The system has enough RAM, so that swap isn't needed for booting to finish, so I could bring swap up by hand, except that: 1. When the system is being shut down/rebooted, I'm not sure if the system will turn off swap gracefully if swap partitions aren't found in /etc/fstab, and 2. This is my server machine, which is why the usb drive method wouldn't be practicable. Going back to swap though, I don't want to risk a situation where the power goes off while I'm not hear, and the system runs for say a week without any swap available. Thanks again for the suggestions.
