Using the dmscripts

The dmscripts projects consists of three scripts: dmmkfs.sh, dmmount.sh and dmumount.sh.

Using `dmmkfs`

This script creates an encrypted filesystem either in a file or on a block device. Use it like this:

For a file:

 
# dd if=/dev/zero of=encrypted_filesystem bs=1M count=100 
100+0 records in 
100+0 records out 
# dmmkfs.sh encryted_filesystem 
Enter passphrase: 
Use which filesystem? 
1) mke2fs 
2) mkfs 
3) mkfs.bfs 
4) mkfs.cramfs 
5) mkfs.ext2 
6) mkfs.ext3 
7) mkfs.jfs 
8) mkfs.minix 
9) mkfs.reiserfs 
10) mkfs.xfs 
11) mkreiserfs

mkfs.reiserfs 3.6.12 (2003 www.namesys.com) 

Guessing about desired format.. Kernel 2.6.12.3-rock is running. 
Format 3.6 with standard journal 
Count of blocks on the device: 25600 
Number of blocks consumed by mkreiserfs formatting process: 8212 
Blocksize: 4096 
Hash function used to sort names: "r5" 
Journal Size 8193 blocks (first block 18) 
Journal Max transaction length 1024 
inode generation number: 0 
UUID?: <no libuuid installed> 
ATTENTION?: YOU? SHOULD? REBOOT? AFTER? FDISK?! 
ALL? DATA? WILL? BE? LOST? ON? ’/dev/mapper/57c9c686af2b8b79b0c30c1d49ea1c56’! 
Continue (y/n):y 
Initializing journal - 0%....20%....40%....60%....80%....100% 
Syncing..ok 

Tell your friends to use a kernel based on 2.4.18 or later, and especially not a 
kernel based on 2.4.9, when you use reiserFS. Have fun. 

ReiserFS? is successfully created on /dev/mapper/57c9c686af2b8b79b0c30c1d49ea1c56.

For a blockdevice (USB-Stick, Harddisk or similiar):

 
root@fuzzy:~# dmmkfs.sh /dev/acer_stick1

180 days, whichever comes first. Use tune2fs -c or -i to override.
