Just upgraded to loop-aes-3.2f from loop-aes-3.2b (I think it was).
Like magic, write speeds to a usb hd on a 2.4.xx kernel (while doing the dd from /dev/zero to an encrypted loop device to prefill a partition) appear to have almost doubled.
Before I was only getting about 3.5MB/s. Now I am getting around 6.5MB/s.
I'm wondering if this might not be a very pleasant result from "Maximum prealloc limit increased to 4096 pages" in the Changelog for 3.2f?
Of coures this is a guess - perhaps writes to this usb hd are just faster as I get further into the disk?
