It sounds like it may be more effective, and much less code, to write a well scripted front end that manages and automates the creation and opening of multiple LUKS devices at once. IE create 12 LUKS devices with one the same passphrase with one command, and then open all 12 with one command. Although I personally don't really use the pasphrase management features - I guess a similar command to add and revoke passphrases would also be needed. I am not a cryptology expert, so I do not know what impact having all 12 of these with the same/different masterkey would have on security. It seems like all of them having the same key couldn't be any worse than the > 1TB problem it is already faced with. Would 12 different masterkeys with the same passphrase present any security problems? -Clay On Wed, Sep 17, 2008 at 11:20 AM, Mick Reed <oregon.mick@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > > If it's a software raid you could encrypt the devices below the raid, > > > which gives you enough crypto threads. > > Oh, so it does work!
