Reinstall with encrypted home partition.

[imnichol]

I'm wiping out / on an Ubuntu box but want to keep everything in /home/, which is mounted on a different partition. Using
ecryptfs-unwrap-passphrase ~/.ecryptfs/wrapped-passphrase I have unwrapped the passphrase, resulting in a ~25 character alphanumeric string.
Is it possible for me to install from a disk and give the installer the (current) passphrase so that it will automatically mount my home directory?

At least I can be sure that I won't totally mess anything up since I have the passphrase, but I'd just like to be sure.

I too, would like to know the answer to this. On the new installation, I would like to change the password, but I am unsure as to what this may do currently or later to the decryption key.

If anyone has done this successfully, please speak up. It would save me hours of head & heart ache as well as one less head-hole in my drywall. Thanks in advance.
