/dev/evms/store /store xfs defaults,noatime,noauto,loop=/dev/loop0,encryption=AES256 0 0
Yes I got
XFS filesystem -> loop -> EVMS -> raid5 disks
so I guess Ill try it with the swap device first to try or somthing
So it is no risk if the crypted device is disabled and I resize ?
thx alot
thx alot

It is a Hardware raid5 (3ware). Now I want to add another HD, expand the RAID5 and expand the partition via EVMS and then expand the XFS Filesystem. I wonder if I will get problems because the partition is a loop AES256 partition ?
Im kinda scared I might loose data :-)
Resizing of loop devices while they are active is not supported. If your setup is:
XFS filesystem -> loop -> EVMS -> raid5 disks
Then resizing may succeed if you do:
1) Unmount your XFS filesystem 2) Detach loop device with 'losetup -d ....' 3) Do EVMS magic to expand size 4) Setup loop device again to expanded device 5) Mount your XFS filesystem 6) Resize your XFS filesystem
Steps 2 and 4 are not necessary if you have 'loop=/dev/loop?,encryption=AES256' mount options in your /etc/fstab.
