Ah, no? Unless you have it in a RAM-disk? If you power off, the device is not mapped anymore, but the header is there. Wit things like rubber-hise cryptoanalysis, you can still get at it. If the header is wiped, that becomes impossible. Arno -- Arno Wagner, Dr. sc. techn., Dipl.

The first method is far more difficult. --Tony Hoare _______________________________________________ dm-crypt mailing list dm-crypt@xxxxxxxx http://www.saout.de/mailman/listinfo/dm-crypt
