And which one do you recommand to use ? well, jari's patch adresses various issues, and is supposed to have undergone quite some testing by being a vital part of the loop-AES package; (see the last patch-int announcement) my patch is quite minimalistic, I've rewritten it to only address the IV calculation and some cosmetic stuff; it still needs testing against non-simple setups both patches should lead to the same on disc format in combination with the cryptoloop... if they don't then it's a bug... btw, it should also be possible to use loop-AES and cryptoloop at the same time; it's just a matter of adding 3 lines (2 #defines and 1 typedef to the loop.h header, after having been patched by loop-AES) that way you should be able to convert your volumes from patch-int encrypted volumes to loop-AES volumes and the other way round... (as long as both use 512byte IV's ... if they don't you'll have to use one or two additional steps... but you should definitely get rid of non-512 byte IV's... as it becomes harder with every release to keep support for it..) regards, -- Herbert Valerio Riedel / Phone: (EUROPE) +43-1-58801-18840 Email: hvr@xxxxxxxxxx / Finger hvr@xxxxxxx for GnuPG Public Key GnuPG Key Fingerprint: 7BB9 2D6C D485 CE64 4748 5F65 4981 E064 883F 4142
