util-linux-2.12
dated just the time of my initial setup. now i know, that i've to write down every importatant configuration step i do. with the losetup found in this dir every ting works as expected. you may find the sorurce at www.mhcsoftware.de/ul212.tar.gz if you want to have a look at it.
i use this losetup with the "cryptoloop" and "aes" module of the 2.6.6 kernel.
now here are my quetions - because i want to understand this:
- what is the difference between "cryptoloop" of the kernel and "loop-aes" ?
- why are they incomaptible ? or better, are the incompatible ? and if so, why ?
- and finaly - if they are incomatible - why are there different implementations and what is the difference ?
well the core question is: what should i use and why.
thank for your persistant support and your patience !!!!
cheers matthias
