some additional Information: loop-AES seems to work for me with smaller partitions with encryption but it crashes on my 200 Gig /dev/md1 Partition - so maybe its a matter of size? what does MAX_DISK_SIZE 1024*1024*1024 in patched-loop.c tell me? Bytes ? KBytes? Nothing to do with that at all? Marcus Roelz - Linux-crypto: cryptography in and on the Linux system Archive: http://mail.nl.linux.org/linux-crypto/
