If you want to initialise a partition with random before using it with encryption, first mount it with a temporary random key via LUKS and then cat form /dev/zero into the encrypted block device. The underlying physical block device then fills with encrypted zeros. That's the fastest method I know so far. Dunno if you wanted to do that, so if not, just ignore me. **Henrik --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
