Announce loop-AES-v1.7d file/swap crypto package

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



loop-AES changes since previous release:
- Added kernel side support for struct loop_info64 (2.5 kernels).
- loop.c-2.5.patched updated with fixes from 2.5.70-bk
- Modified Makefile to use /sbin/ absolute path for depmod and losetup.
- build-initrd.sh now supports /dev/md* and /dev/fd[01] devices
- build-initrd.sh now supports GnuPG files on removable device
- Added warning about unsupported devices to build-initrd.sh
- Dropped loop thread O(1) scheduler nice from -9 to -1 (2.4 and 2.5
  kernels). No change for kernels using old scheduler.
- Added lo_nice= module parameter for easier scheduler nice tuning (2.4 and
  2.5 kernels).
- Added 'AES-unhashed' encryption type which can be used to access ancient
  loop-AES-v1.0c disk images. Unhashed encryption type 'AES' (without
  numbers) may eventually vanish because it conflicts with kerneli.org
  syntax.
- Removed unused code from 'losetup -C' processing so that losetup and mount
  programs are now little bit smaller.
