Could I then use ReiserFS on top of a file backed loop device?
the loop-AES.README also states:
1. Loop device primer
[...]
File backed loops may deadlock under some kernel + file system
combinations.
So, if you can choose between device backed and file backed, choose
device backed even if it means that you have to re-partition your
disks.
so, file backed loops SHOULD be avoided, no matter if encrypted or not,
with journaling fs on it or without. yes, it's possible and you SHOULD
try it to see if it works for you. but in "most cases" file backed loops
are behaving better.
