First: I'm not a LUKS/dmcrypt developer. Could it be that other processes have influenced your benchmarking, e.g. by creating a little bit disk I/O? And what iteration time did you use? If it's not specified with --iter-time, does LUKS use the same default for all? --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
