Maybe others here on the list have a suggestion. Probably, you should provide some more information. Otherwise, on the newer Intel i3/i5/i7, twofish-3way is faster than AES. You could try to re-format your drive with twofish-xts-plain64 and adding twofish_common, twofish_x86_64 and twofish_x86_64_3way to your initram (as long as your kernel is built with these enabled). _______________________________________________ dm-crypt mailing list dm-crypt@xxxxxxxx http://www.saout.de/mailman/listinfo/dm-crypt
