Hi
I want to integrate a dm-crypted USB-HDD with autofs.
The first part of setting up dm-crypt can be put into udev, so that the
dm-crypt-device is setup immediatly after plugging in the HDD, which in
turn can then be used with autofs.
So my question is: Is it safe to unplug the HDD after the filesystem is
umounted, but with the dm-crypt-device still in existance?
(IOW: Are all dirty blocks immediately written to the HDD (at least at
umount-time), or can there be something still buffered in the dm-crypt
device?)
Bis denn

Real Programmers consider "what you see is what you get" to be just as
bad a concept in Text Editors as it is in women. No, the Real Programmer
wants a "you asked for it, you got it" text editor -- complicated,
cryptic, powerful, unforgiving, dangerous.
