I, for one, have never been able to figure out how to use dm-crypt with cryptoloop files. If I had, for instance, a file and knew that if I started at a certain offset using a certain encryption with a certain key, and I wanted to mount my part of it, I have never persuaded dm-crypt to do that. All proposed solutions have started with copy or convert, neither of which are practical with this data. > > as for offsets, isnt this a logical thing to do with devicemapper > aswell? > > ofcourse loop/losetup cannot just be removed, theres probably LOTS of > scripts around which are being used. > -- Bill Davidsen <davidsen@....com> "We have more to fear from the bungling of the incompetent than from the machinations of the wicked." - from Slashdot -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
