Fedora {{Template:DocsDict/BeatsVer}}

  provides basic support for encrypted swap partitions and non-root
  file systems.  To use it, add entries to <code>/etc/crypttab</code> and reference the
created devices in <code>/etc/fstab</code>.


New in Fedora 9, the installer '''Anaconda''' has support for creating encrypted file systems during installation.  For more information on that, refer to the ''Fedora Installation Guide'':

Installing to encrypted volumes, including the root file system, is now supported. There is no configuration tool for adding or removing keys from volumes at a later time, or otherwise doing modification of the encryption.  Refer to this feature page for more information:

=== Ext4 Preview ===
 
The new ext4 file system is available in Fedora 9 as a nearly feature complete preview.  While an ext3 file system can be mounted as ext4, an ext3 to ext4 conversion tool is planned that converts existing ext3 on-disk format to ext4.
 
Fedora 9 may be installed onto an ext4 file system by adding the <code>ext4</code> option to the installer boot parameters and selecting custom partitioning.
