Thread: Encrypting Home Directory (Created as Non-Encrypted)


hi all,

i'm using ubuntu 10.04 , 11 (the flavor can disable unity). i'm interested in encrypting home directory after fact (the account created without encryption).

encrypted filesystem howto third hit on search 'ubuntu encrypt home directory" (the first 2 noise). is encryptedfilesystemhowto (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/en...ilesystemhowto) applicable , date?

seems heck of lot of [manual] work. find bit surprising, since microsoft (windows) , apple (mac os) have been doing years. perhaps there's different document should using?

jeff

the script ecryptfs-migrate-home easier way. it's included in package ecryptfs-utils.
