I used an encrypted filesystem over an unencrypted LV but, as loop-aes needs the loop device to operate, I need to loop-mount the encrypted filesystem for the system to be able to on-the-fly decrypt its contents. Maybe I am confused, because I don't fully understand what you mean by "running LVM ontop of a encrypted loopback device". -- Jose Luis Domingo Lopez Linux Registered User #189436 Debian Linux Woody (Linux 2.4.19-pre6aa1)
