I *am* planning on using a device-backed loop.
good ;)
try it to see if it works for you. but in "most cases" file backed loops
are behaving better.
I assume you really meant device-backed loops in the last sentance above.
yes, of course. sorry.
My interest in using a file-backed loop is so that I can have a loop-AES device-backed loop
containing a loop-AES file-backed loop, for two (or more) layers of encryption.
hm. i'd rather go with a higher bitsize (e.g. aes-256) or try a
combination of device-backed loop-aes and dm-crypt or something.
