Do you use the in-kernel loop interface but loop-aes. A strange thing though, yesterday emerged 'new' util-linux-2.12q-r1 (~x86) and saw that it fetched some version of loop-aes, file: loop-AES-v3.0c.tar.bz2. Haven't looked at the ebuild. As i'm using 'loop-AES-v3.0b.tar.bz2' checked the site (on sf.net) and the version there was still 3.0.b. Know that to use loop-aes you have to have a patched util-linux >= some_version. Maybe it's being integrated or .... HTH. Rumen
