I have used loop-AES on my laptop for over 6 months with no problems. While you can't exactly call a 4200 rpm HDD high I/O, it's just another users experience. I have used it with kernel 2.4.14-18 now and have never had problem one. ----------------------------------------- Paul Norris IS Technician Cunningham Research Student University of Central Florida pauln@physics.ucf.edu On Tue, 12 Mar 2002, Tim Renner wrote: > I am also having corruption problems...
