I wondering about the status of encrypted loopback support in the 2.5
kernel series. I know crypto-api was merged in, but I haven't been able
to find any pointers about encrypting loopback devices, and I haven't
seen any pointers to this after searching.
It would also be nice to be able to apply encryption to a partition
directly, without a loopback, although I can see that this might require
a new set of ioctls and might introduce some incompatibilities.
Thanks,

Adam Richter has been doing some work on porting cryptoloop to the new
API, and I'd guess that it will be fully supported reasonably soon
(discussion has been on cryptoapi-devel).

Is there some beta or something to test out?
