Ian: You do know that in a few months (around September) ReiserFS is going to release its version 4 of ReiserFS which is supposed to have encryption build in, right?

So if I have a file backed loop reiserfs that is on a reiserfs will that work? I.e. I have a file ENCRYPTED_STUFF that is my loop file containing a resierfs filesystem. It is stored on a partition that has a reiserfs filesystem. Is that ok? Reiser doesn't seem to have the data=ordered options that ext3 has. thanks, Iain. > > Regards, > Jari Ruusu <jari.ruusu@pp.inet.fi> -- public key available at http://www.minihub.org/~iain/iain.asc - Linux-crypto: cryptography in and on the Linux system Archive: http://mail.nl.linux.org/linux-crypto/ - Linux-crypto: cryptography in and on the Linux system Archive: http://mail.nl.linux.org/linux-crypto/
