This is typical scenario if, at first, you have set up your encryption at a physical partition level (/dev/sdaX where X is the a number of your partition), then you setup your LVM on top of the encrypted partition. If at some later time you want to add another partition in your volume group, you will also want to have it encrypted in order to maintain the same level of security.</p> <a href="http://www.howtoforge.org/encrypted-root-lvm" title="Read the rest of this posting." class="read-more">Read more...</a> Ubuntu Mon, 12 May 2008 20:30:10 +0200 http://www.howtoforge.org/encrypted-root-lvm http://www.howtoforge.org/encrypted-root-lvm#comment http://www.howtoforge.org/ubuntu-8.04-server-install-xen-from-ubuntu-repositories <p><b>Installing Xen On An Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy Heron) Server From The Ubuntu Repositories</b></p> <p>This tutorial provides step-by-step instructions on how to install Xen on an <b>Ubuntu Hardy Heron (Ubuntu 8.04) </b> server system (i386).
