Subject: Grub disk decryption with key file on another device
Date: Sun, 22 Dec 2024 18:31:59 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <c7fdcc66a7cace7443d2c6ad941f4b242446d0ba.camel@planete-kraus.eu> (raw)
Dear Guix,
I have a fully encrypted disk: it has an EFI partition where I install
grub-efi-bootloader and the rest is a single-partition luks device
(including the grub configuration /boot).
I also have another disk that I can partition however I want.
I would like the other disk to store a key file to decrypt the main
disk.
Is this possible?
I see in the manual that grub can be configured to load a CPIO archive
containing the key, but from what I understand, the cpio archive must
be in the root file system, which is encrypted in my case, so it does
not appear to solve the issue. Or can I somehow instruct grub to load
it from another disk?
Best regards,
Vivien
