International crypto patch is misdesigned and broken, period. Block device drivers are supposed handle varying transfer sizes, international crypto patch doesn't. Loop device transfers are supposed to be re-entrant, international crypto patch transfers are not. Summary: international crypto patch will corrupt your data. Avoid using it. If you don't want to play russian roulette with your data, you should consider using loop-AES package. loop-AES announcement is here: http://mail.nl.linux.org/linux-crypto/2001-05/msg3.html http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-crypto=98923954103730=2 Regards, Jari Ruusu <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
