Thank you, that's the missing part. I will say that in limited use I have used aes and twofish and they seem to work correctly. I copied a bunch of data there, checked it against the md5 contents file and all data was correct, did a bunch of renames, slinks, compiles, etc. unmounted and remounted a few times. So far so good, this isn't critical data, but I'm leaning that way for my laptop.
All this with 2.6.0-test1-ac2.
Now, for the bizarre test case, suppose I did three encrypted losetups, each using a different encryption. Then I made a raid-5 array of the three loop devices. created a filesystem on the md device, and ran on that. Forget the practicality, this is a test to see of the parts are robust, can I do it and will it work?
Now make two of those filesystems losetups of NBDs. Now I can recover if any one machine is missing, no one can recover the data without compromising at least two machines. again, forget practical, this is a test and maybe has application to the devout fundamentalist paranoid. If I was going to do it I'd loopback mount the md device, too ;-) - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
