Yes, more or less. I posted my swap encryption scripts in an offtopic thread on alt.os.linux.slackware some time back. http://groups.google.com/groups?selm=slrnaqh3lc.ef0.rob0%40linuxbox.stpaultel.com I also brought it up on this list in 2001-September. Both Jari and HVR recommend against using cryptoapi (kerneli) for swap. But after all this time I can definitively say "it works for me". I have over 6 months' uptime with significant swap usage on a P166. My shutdowns in the time since working out the bugs have not been attributable to swap problems. I believe I've seen it up over 100MB of swap usage on 128MB physical RAM. The kernel is 2.4.17 plus the kerneli patch and Jari's loop patch. > Any kernel Int cipher may be selected? Yes.
