Hello It's just a theorical question. I encrypted some data with dm-crypt on an hard drive. But what happens if the hard drive has an error? Not a kind of a big error which cause the hard drive hangs, but just a small error that make the system doesn't read the bytes all right? Obviously, dm-crypt won't decrypt the data. But what happens next? -dm-crypt will panic() the kernel -Only a block won't be decrypted, so it means that at best, only a file is corrupted, and at worst all of the filesystem is trashed, depending the location of the error? -Or everything beyond the point of the read error will be trash? -Or it depends of the crypto layer choosen as CBC, or else? That's just a theorical question, thank you Envoyé avec Inmano, ma messagerie renversante et gratuite : http://www.inmano.com _______________________________________________ dm-crypt mailing list dm-crypt@xxxxxxxx http://www.saout.de/mailman/listinfo/dm-crypt
