There is no reason to explicitly zero the device - it would take much too long. It simply writes the LUKS header. Since ext3's header begins some 16-32KB from the start of the device, nothing is lost unless you start making a filesystem on the crypto device (/dev/mapper/...). >One more question - can hal be made to recognize luks and automount such >devices? It already does recognize them as I gather from developers. --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
