I am CCing the hardened team because this will likely interest them. However, it might be easier if people affected by this adopted some form of volume management. For instance, you could use LVM on MD RAID or my personal favorite, ZFS. There is a blog post that shows how to do this with ZFS that might be useful to anyone affected by this: https://mthode.org/posts/2012/Dec/gentoo-hardened-zfs-rootfs-with-dm-cryptluks-updated-2012-12-12/ With that said, the genkernel team is composed of volunteers who are stretched thin across not only genkernel, but other parts of Gentoo. As such, this will likely be a low priority for us. Anyone who wants to see this done sooner should provide a patch. |
