This is FUD. To get serious in-depth information about the problems
associated with dm-crypt and loop-aes read,

http://clemens.endorphin.org/LinuxHDEncSettings

This document has been reviewed by a couple of noteworthy people, also
partially to counter the on-going FUD postings, Jari Ruusu has been
posting to LKML repeatedly.

James Morris: Can we please talk about the merge of my LRW patches soon?
