hi.

some time ago i had an encryption with loop-aes drive i mounted in fstab.
my key was gpg encrypted, and it worked well with fstab.

the howto i followed (loop-aes) is here: https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=108162&highlight=encryption

someone told me that i should switch to dmcrypt instead of loop-aes so thats what i did.

but my key is unencrypted on my harddisk, and everyone can read it if they use a livecd.

is there a way i can mount dm-encrypted drives in fstab ?

i'm very curious too, to the answer of your question that is..
i've been waiting for an dm-crypt integration into util-linux(mount),
for a while, to make it easier for a encryptet root partition etc...
