ehm please check again; the 8.0 kernel HAS loop encryption support In reference to Bug 56698, the distribution should have a method of configuring an encrypted file system. I am currently working on a GTK2 application that will handle this on a per-user level (configurable by root) - however, non-functional (out-of-the-box) loopback encryption support for filesystems _in the distribution_ prevents this capability (as it stands). Should this be Bill's RFE bug? Elliot, can we pull in the util-linux bits? Would like to use whatever the upstream util-linux maintainer decides to accept. I will e-mail him again to find out what the status is. Until there's a util-linux with crypto support included, I don't want to add support in the RH package by choosing from the umpteen patch sets out there. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 56698 *** |
