My laptop really wants swsusp (suspend to swap), which of course wants to be encrypted. There's a long-standing caveat that using loop-encryption for a swap partition will blow up (memory allocations are done in the encrypt+write out path, which will die when we are swapping). However, it's not clear to me if this is a problem with the 'crypto-api' patches or not (for instance, ppdd is supposed to be able to handle it, so it's probably not a problem with the basic loop.o driver). Do you know if loop-AES does/should have a problem with encrypted swap? Or if, even better, it's tested and known to work? Thanks, Hank Leininger <hlein@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Who is too lazy to just set this up & beat on it until smoke comes out.
