Hi! I got two questions related to crypted filesystems: 1) I use crypted filesystem on a laptop with dualboot for securing data in the case of getting it stolen. hdd0: W2K with crypted filesystem hdd1: SuSE 8.2 with cryptofs provided by SuSE for /home only This leads to following problem: The original bootloader (grub) is replaced by the security driver and I had to use W2K bootloader instead. I followed the steps discribed on http://portal.suse.com/sdb/de/1997/06/nt.html and it worked for me before installing the bootdriver for the hddcrypting using "dd if=/dev/hda0 of=/root/bootsek.lin byte=512 count=1". After installing the security bootdrivers it fails to boot with the W2K bootloader. Afaik grub only needs to know where stage2 is and that is said in stage1 which is placed in the mbr in this case in the bootimage I made. Booting with floppy does work with the same bootimage placed on the floppy. Any hints for copying the image from the floppy? 2) I want to crypt a filesystem on another machine (dual PII 350/512MB ram) with lvm and don't want to have performanceloss because of /dev/loop. I first tested this with cryptofs provided by SuSE but I had a great performanceloss as you can see here: with cryptofs max. 2MB/s over samba w/o cryptofs max. 6-9 MB/s over samba Is there a possibility to directly mount a crypted filesystem within kernel and is there any stable kernelmodule for that purpose (des 128bit would be "secure enough" for me).
