At this moment I _can_ use losetup to create a encrypted file-system (with aes) on a partition (or a file). Do I realy have to install this Loop-AES ? Why ? Is it only possible to encrypt swap with Loop-AES instead of with my crypto-loopback ? My biggest problem till now is: I`d like to mount all my partitions with the same password, which I only want to enter once...but losetup doesnt seem to provide an option for the password !
