Currently, all my remote servers of any import use LUKS to encrypt the PVs. My /boot is a tiny unencrypted filesystem containing just the kernel, and an initrd, which prompts for my decryption key before booting. (afaict, the standard setup)
For remote servers, I reboot them and then have to use a serial console to type in the LUKS password.
Are you saying that with this, I could put an ssh server in the initrd (and I guess I'd have to make sure network was up as well), that I could log in to to provide my LUKS password???? Because that would be ... beautiful.
