Why do you stick with dm-crypt?
After reading about the weaknesses of dm-crypt and cryptoloop I switched to loop-AES
Well, tomorrow I'm switching to FreeBSD and GBDE...
(I can try to do that with this server because it is dedicated for one purpose only: experimental disk server.)
There may be a way to port GBDE to Linux via an architecture like dm-crypt (which leverages a more-general treatment of block devices, as does BSD GEOM). But I think my first effort to port GBDE would be to Darwin/Mac OS.
Well, I can dream...
