I was not talking about lvm at all. I was just talking about device mapper tables. I know that lvm translates its metadata info into device mapper tables as well, so does cryptsetup - the latter just creates far mor simple tables than lvm can and does. Don't get me wrong - my idea was just to transparently slice a device into regions, encrypt them with different keys and re-glue them together. regards Mario -- We are the Bore. Resistance is futile.
