If you want hibernate to work you can use uswsusp for example:
https://we.riseup.net/debian/encrypted-swap https://we.riseup.net/debian/encrypted-swap
Sleep always works, but as mentioned above, your key will be in memory...
- jrgifford 15y agoInteresting.... I think i'll stick with user directory encryption, but thanks for those links.
- slug 15y agoWell, I use /home with luks on some machines and user directory (encfs) on others, but have all of them with swap encrypted or no swap partition at all. Since the keys/other private info might leak there, you are not doing it right, unless you have sysctl swappness level set to 0. Not only that, /tmp and other temporary directories might also be another leaky place...
