I wanted to encrypt my whole hard disk and looked for a method to do
so. I found methods close to this goal but not quite achieving it so I
made my own method and wrote it up.
I've included it in a new "Disk Encryption HOWTO", intended to supersede
the existing "Loopback Encrypted Filesystem HOWTO" [1]. Please read it
and provide me with criticism, suggestions, and other feedback. Here
are some things I'm looking for:
* Sanity check. Does it make sense? Am I way off base?
* Smoke test. Does the procedure work for you?
* Weakness. Could the security be improved in a practical way?
* Readability. Do you understand it easily?
