There is apparently some problem in kernel, not sure if dm-crypt or crypto
api one, This ARC4 configuration is allowed (no errors) but produces something
more like random generator:-)
one sector device:
# dmsetup create x --table "0 1 crypt arc4-cbc-plain 0123456789abcdef 0 /dev/sdb 0"
# sha256sum /dev/mapper/x
d37afeeb57a60b69715edd99f2a1523e77f6be51a1c61c56efc91ed691c90dfc /dev/mapper/x
# sha256sum /dev/mapper/x
fdc87e8e9f158d26e58c5b48c80375b56cc24d0c088872f4aacc7e19fb5c5599 /dev/mapper/x
Not sure what's wrong yet...
