Hello Friends,
I'am working on a "RAID 5 Controller" device to which
4 SATA hard drives are connected each of size 80GB.
My requirement is implementing encryption &
decrpyption for the device. As we don't have any
filesystem on the target, we are falling on raid
device driver . The first thing I want to ask is
1. Whether this approach is recommendable or not.
why do you want to implement encryption in the raid engine,
we already have more than one implementation that plugs nicely over the
raid (dm-crypt or loop-AES), imho we don't need anither one, and it does
not belong in the raid driver anyway, it is better to stack multiple
components that do their job well, instead
