i have some patches which allow for encrypted local and network swap
using cryptsetup:
http://llama.freegeek.org/~vagrant/bzr/ltsp/features/vagrant-ltsp-swap
advantages:
* swap is available sooner
* possible to encrypt swap space
disadvantages:
* re-implements some functionality of nbd-client's init.d script
long-term, hopefully we can work with the nbd-client/nbd-server
maintainer to improve support for what we want.
i'd like to include these patches in etch, as the security implications
of totally unencrypted network swap are ugly.
live well,
vagrant
