You can have an encrypted container backed by a file, or by a block device (which in turn can be either a whole disk, a partition, or a loopback device exposing a part of a different block device). All it cares about is that it's big enough to hold the LUKS header, and that writes are persisted in some manner. As far as LUKS is concerned, the container doesn't even need to be large enough to hold any file system. -- Michael Kjörling • https://michael.kjorling.se • michael@xxxxxxxxxxx “People who think they know everything really annoy those of us who know we don’t.” (Bjarne Stroustrup) _______________________________________________ dm-crypt mailing list dm-crypt@xxxxxxxx http://www.saout.de/mailman/listinfo/dm-crypt
