Hi, I just set up a new Debian Linux system IMHO. All runs very well. I just wanted to set up a few new partitions for holding so data I use to work with. Now I thought it would be cool to de-/crypt them on the fly. I use kernel version 2.4.18. No here is my question: How stable is the patch for this kernel found under http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/crypto/v2.4/testing/? Could it be seen as stable to use it in an productive environment or do I have to bet every evening that my data is there again on the next day? ;-))) lot of thanks for an answer Stefan - Linux-crypto: cryptography in and on the Linux system Archive: http://mail.nl.linux.org/linux-crypto/
