I think we were talking passed each other.

I am all for encrypted swap (and suspending to it). But to me it makes no=

sense to encrypt /, or /var or anything else except:

* /home
* /tmp
* swap

=2E.. because none of the information in / is really a secret, except the=

aforementioned partitions. There is of course stuff like /etc/shadow and=20
/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf (but it can be moved to an encrypted partition),=
=20
but other than that, what is in cleartext in / that is NOT located on the=
=20
partitions above?
