If it's the latter I have a 4.5T volume crypted with aes-xts-plain and it does definitely neither die painfully nor does it lose or silently modify data - it's filled for about 95% and I'm checking data integrity regularly, so I think I know what I'm talking about in this case :) That was btw. also the reason for me to ask for dm-crypted chunks in Message-ID: <slrngu98rl.fbr.Mario.Holbe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> regards Mario -- Whenever you design a better fool-proof software, the genetic pool will always design a better fool. _______________________________________________ dm-crypt mailing list dm-crypt@xxxxxxxx http://www.saout.de/mailman/listinfo/dm-crypt
