Hi, so I have now loop-aes with file backed and ext3->ext3->partition. I did copy a large file from the normal partition to the crypto-file and in the middle just pressed reset. I wanted to see what happens. I just wonder because at boot e2fsck says for the whole partition (where the cryptofile is as well) "recovering journal". Now when I make a losetup -e to /dev/loop0 for the file and then a e2fsck /dev/loop0 (or e2fsck -f /dev/loop0) it says everything is ok. I wonder why it doesn't say recovering journal for the crypto-fs as well like for the whole partition on boot ? Anyone can explain it to me ? Thanks ! Martin PS: It really is very fast with loop-aes.
