As far as I understand, the SSD part of these hybrid drives is used as a cache, which doesn't loose its data when powered off. The disc itself is completely in encrypted state when off, but I'm quite curious what maybe could happen to the SSD part. In other words: is it completely covered by the additional crypto layer, or is there some internal transfer which happens "automatically" without being under control of the crypto layer? When you format the disc using "cryptsetup luksFormat", the 4 GB SSD part isn't included. Please correct me if I'm wrong. _______________________________________________ dm-crypt mailing list dm-crypt@xxxxxxxx http://www.saout.de/mailman/listinfo/dm-crypt
