In the past while I was using SL 4.x. I was using BestCrypt. Now in CentOS 5.0, neither BestCrypt nor TrueCrypt seem to work. Is there any volume encryption or full HDD encryption that works with CentOS 5.0 out there (preferably in single-user mode)?
Yes, dm-crypt/cryptsetup. We have some documentation in the Wiki: http://wiki.centos.org/TipsAndTricks/EncryptedFilesystem
I use it for encrypted partitions on removable devices. Works fine for me. There's also support for encrypted system partitions, though I think '/' encryption requires a custom initrd image.
