But, it seems to me that being able to have a different IV for each filesystem would be a good thing, but having it depend on something as volatile as sector of the disk, seems bad. What about the first block of the underlying file holding an IV? Then, if a loopback mount attempt finds a valid IV block at the start (heavily CRC'd or similar, so the likelyhood of it ever finding false magic is negligable (Say 10^-50)) it mounts the filesystem, using the IV found. Please tell me where the glaring error is :) - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
