Announce loop-AES-v1.6c file/swap crypto package

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



loop-AES changes since previous release:
- Fixed genuine loop bug that always exports loop sector size as 512 bytes
  regardless of sector size of underlying device (2.4, 2.2 and 2.0 kernels).
  Thanks to Peter Niemayer for reporting and testing this bug.
- Merged build-initrd.sh /boot/grub/menu.lst comments and kernel halt
  changes from Jani Averbach.
- Modified build-initrd.sh to ask password again if mount failed. Also added
  workarounds for misconfigured/buggy bootloaders.
- Added -a option to losetup that shows status of all configured loop
  devices. Also fixed cosmetic bug that showed xor encryption as unknown.
- Merged reparent_to_init() and set_current_state() fixes from
  2.4.19-pre7-ac3
- Added workaround for 2.5 kernel block device module locking bug.
- loop.c-2.5.original updated with fixes from 2.5.14
- Fixed genuine loop bug that sometimes didn't sync all buffers before
  releasing device (2.2 kernels).
