I'm not a crypto-loop user, so I am not in a position to judge whether using dm for crypto-on-disk is feature-sufficient and adequate from an operational point of view. It is good that Joe-and-co are OK with it and are prepared to help support it. If the people who _do_ use crypto-loop like the look of the feature set and the user interface then fine. Certainly the loop driver has a long history of not working very well. So. If those-in-the-know like it then go wild. It would be useful to get an opinion from the distro guys too. However I suspect that there will be a migration issue, and that we should continue to work to get crypto-loop functioning well, plan to remove it from 2.8, yes? - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/ | ||||||||||||
