RHEL 6 encryption?
Guys,
Is it possible to encrypt a RHEL 6 disk after its already been setup? The developer already has his dev environment setup, but we still need to encrypt the drive. Possible? TIA |
The short answer is no, you would need to make a backup of the data in the non-encrypted partition(I would verify that my backup was good before taking the next step), delete the partition, create a new encrypted partition, create a new filesystem and restore your backup on the now encrypted device.
See section 3 of the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 Security Guide for details available at access.redhat.com |
Thanks. Had one of our Linux guru's assist this morning and he did exactly this.
