Thank you for identifying this. I have been having perfect results iwth the systems I have running cryptoloop, but they are both small. Now I not only know why I don't have problems, I have a way to prevent problems.
Hopefully this will get into 2.6.0-final, since it fixes a hard fail case. | | Steps to reproduce: | | dd if=/dev/zero of=/file bs=1M count=100 | losetup -e blowfish /dev/loop0 /file | Password: | mkfs -t ext3 /dev/loop0 | mount /dev/loop0 /mnt | cd /mnt | dd if=/dev/zero of=bla | | gives you nice unpredictable crashes. | | | Soeren | | - | 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/ |
