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.

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.

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.
