As I've written some lines below, there is a patch: http://www.saout.de/misc/dm-crypt.diff that I've written some time ago. I posted it some time ago but never got feedback from any "VIP" (except for Joe Thornber who helped developing the target and thinks it looks good). Some people tested it though and it worked for them (and better than cryptoloop around test4). -- Christophe Saout Please avoid sending me Word or PowerPoint attachments.
