Can someone point me to official fedora docs on howto encrypt partition like swap?
I'm having trouble with s2disk and encrypted swap. boot is looking for the suspend image before prompting for the swap paraphrase. This is on FC8.

Currently you can't have encrypted swap and suspend-to-disk.

Although it may not help your current need, we are working on such a guide:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Docs/Drafts/CryptoGuide
We are discussing on f-docs-l the approach to take from here, since F9 has encryption in the installer. Do we want to still handle manual encryption? What should Fedora-specific docs on encryption and privacy handle?

Manual encryption is still useful if you decided to do this post installation. Also useful is documentation on how to handle encryption in rescue mode.

The main thing manual setup is still useful for (imho) is for things like usb sticks and the like.

Rescue mode should just work as of the beta. If not, file bugs.

I was using this feature just before the beta while some mkinitrd issues were being worked on. It worked nicely.

Although it may not help your current need, we are working on such a guide:
Based on the targeted audience there should really be a caveats section that explains some of the limitations of encryption systems. There was another recent thread about how users unfamiliar with encryption might think their data is magically protected by having their data on encrypted partitions, when in fact there are a number of ways other people could get access to that data. By listing some of the possible ways that people could get at their data they should be better able to judge the risks and potentially take steps to mitigate those that they think might be a real problem for them.
