And therefor it will be easy for an adversary to tell which blocks have data on them and which have yet to be used. Write the entire disk over with random data before starting to use it and an adversary will have to try to decrypt every block without knowing whether it's something you encrypted or just random numbers. -- John Hasler jhas...@newsguy.com Elmwood, WI USA -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
