DMCrypt maximum block size

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

 



Hi,

I have used dmcrypt+luks before on my laptop and really like it, but now I am contemplating using it on a very large server, around 16TB single block device and was wondering if dmcrypt has any limit on the size of a block device that it can be used on, as I know ext3 wouldn't work on a block this large, it would only go to 8TB if I recall correctly.

I cannot carve up this block device as it would be impossible to manage properly, but I still want it to be encrypted someone. I guess I may be able to carve and lvm join smaller blocks if I had to, as long as I knew what the max block device size could be.

Thanks

ps. Not sure if this is the right place to mention but http://luks.endorphin.org/dm-crypt appears down for me...
