>Note that whatever the file system is it won't be recognized by most DVD burning software, it looks like a random data stream.<< What I just have seen is, that there is also a problem with DVD-ROM drives not recognizing a crypted DVD as a valid medium. It seems because there is a random stream on it (at least it looks like it), the drive does think it is garbage and won't allow me to mount. With the DVD-burner, it worked, but I have that in a different pc than the crypto-setup Does anyone know how to fix that? or are there some DVD-ROMS who will recognize the DVDs? >> The question is how much data fits on DVD? 4.0 or 4.4GB? >4,700,000,000 Bytes without overburn, about 4.4GB, my current images are 4699996160 bytes.<< Oh. I never was able to manage to get more than about 4.1 GB on a DVD, since bigger files caused NERO to warn me of oversized Image file... About LOOP-AES and AES-PIPE (Why is it called AES anyway - from what I've read, there are multiple ciphers avaiable not only AES) - are they in the gentoo-library? I mean, can I install them with gentoos "emerge". I found aes-pipe: : emerge search aes * app-crypt/aespipe Latest version available: 2.2a Latest version installed: [ Not Installed ] Size of downloaded files: 72 kB Homepage: http://loop-aes.sourceforge.net Description: Encrypts data from stdin to stdout. License: GPL-2 but not aes-loop or loop-aes. I was wondering, if aes-pipe is there why not the (required?) loop-aes? Or is it hidden?
