Which is exactly the problem i'm trying to solve: Moving from loop-aes to dm-crypt, without reencrypting the discs and retaining "autofs"ability. The latter, as far as i can determine, is currently not possible without patching something. On my test-machine i build a crude version of "premount/postumount". I did that by "diverting" (A Debian specific package-manager thing) /bin/mount to /bin/mount.orig (Same for umount) and putting a shell-script for /bin/mount that checks for /dev/mapper/... and sets it up on mount and then execs /bin/mount.orig. Same for umount, only it does the "loopaesClose" after running umount.orig. This solution works more or less satisfactory, only the robustness isn't optimal. Bis denn -- Real Programmers consider "what you see is what you get" to be just as bad a concept in Text Editors as it is in women. No, the Real Programmer wants a "you asked for it, you got it" text editor -- complicated, cryptic, powerful, unforgiving, dangerous. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe util-linux" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
