Besides, i'll at least have to talk this situation over with my fellow student and the professor. I would really like encryption to be a part of LVM, and i want keychange. I never really expected the dm-target to be the tough part, since it would just be sort of like dm-linear, and cryptoloop. The other stuff and performance tuning was where i expected to use time. > > Besides, since i now "seen" the code you did (well, i replied > > to the email, but not studied the code) then perhaps my professor > > might possibly will raise questions as to whether or not i really > > developed the code myself. > > Hey, it's technically not too different from cryptoloop.c and there's > still a lot of room for improvement.

I didn't mean to. Well, it's sort of both ways. I like encryption, and i want more support for that in linux. That part i am thrilled about. But i'm not too thrilled if i means the end of my university project, however, i guess that i better get used to other people doing the same things that i want to, it's not like i own the idea. You did catch me off guard, i didnt expect anyone to rush out and do the same thing that i said i would try, but maybe thats common in the OS development world? JonB
