Yesterday i tried to upgrade to Karmic it went wrong and i ended up downloading the cd and installing it. my problem was that my home was encrypted under jaunty so it wasn't quite the simple step of installing the os and then mounting the home drive
at first my googling found nothing on how to mount the volume but eventually i found it
cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sda3 sda3
so when i do that the volume pops up and i mount it and it works fine.
now i want it to automount as my home
when i installed Karmic i enabled encrypted home so i just figure i need to modify the crypt config file to point to the volume that i want and all should work? only problem is i cant find the config file that contains this information. i checked /etc/crypttab and /etc/cryptmount/cmtab and neither seem to contain the info
i have googled and cant find where this information is stored let alone if i can just modify the file to redirect to sda3
