Sorry for late answer. One test that you can easily do is to run following command on some test file system: cp /dev/zero someFileNameHere where that 'someFileNameHere' is a new file on encrypted file system that is at least twice as big as the amount of RAM in your conputer. Then remove the file and try again few times. You may want to run that test on some test partition, because it may end up filling the file system completely. Second thing that you can do is to tell me where I can find kernel patches that get applied to your gentoo kernel. I don't run gentoo, so gentoo specific download scripts won't work here. I found these "gentoo-sources 2.6.22-r9" patches, but I am not sure if they are correct ones: http://dev.gentoo.org/~dsd/genpatches/tarballs/genpatches-2.6.22-10.base.tar.bz2 http://dev.gentoo.org/~dsd/genpatches/tarballs/genpatches-2.6.22-10.extras.tar.bz2 -- Jari Ruusu 1024R/3A220F51 5B 4B F9 BB D3 3F 52 E9 DB 1D EB E3 24 0E A9 DD - Linux-crypto: cryptography in and on the Linux system Archive: http://mail.nl.linux.org/linux-crypto/
