Hi, I came to the idea to encrypt my /home dir, which is on a separate filesystem. I already had a data dir encrypted with loop-aes and expirienced no problems with it. The procedure of copying the whole /home structure to some backup place, setting up the encrypted fs, and copying it back didn't osunt very pleasent to me. I thought, why not encrypt a block device by block. Why not create a loop device on top of my file system and copy block by block from the real device onto the loop device. I tried this with a floppy and the result seems very strange to me. I can mount the resulting loop device, but the files are missing Can anyone of you please explain what happens here? I have attached the exact procedure. Regards, Jim __________________________________________________________________ Gesendet von Yahoo!
