Hi, I encountered a similar problem which I've described here: > https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.20/+bug/82528 According to the related entry in Linux kernel Bugzilla, the bug should be fixed in Linux 2.6.24. For me, I still have a rather bad performance, but because I upgraded the PC to faster hardware meanwhile, I can't really confirm this. (I don't have these hard hangs any more) HTH, Ulrich --------------------------------------------------------------------- dm-crypt mailing list - http://www.saout.de/misc/dm-crypt/ To unsubscribe, e-mail: dm-crypt-unsubscribe@xxxxxxxx For additional commands, e-mail: dm-crypt-help@xxxxxxxx
