cryptsetup 1.0.6-pre1

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



After feeling guilty for about 2 months for having version 1.0.5 with
so much known problems out there, I finally found time to package
fixes in 1.0.6-pre1. 

cryptsetup is now a bit more sensitive when it comes to devices
already in use. As the LVM tools, cryptsetup now wants exclusive
access to the underlying device (O_EXCL) and will fail when you are
trying to create two mappings for a single device. This is actually
the most grave change in 1.0.6-pre1.

cryptsetup now fails early when the underlying device isn't
there. With old versions you had to enter a password until you found
that you pointed cryptsetup to a device that didn't exist. Also a
series of segfault have been fixed, mostly these segfaults were in
face of some other errors (running as non-root, for instance), but
still segfault is always wrong as answer.
