Re: Problems encrypting disk partitions in 2.4.3

[Herbert Valerio Riedel <hvr@hvrlab.org>]

btw, I've tried to bring to attention this issue some weeks ago,
I even posted a package based on the international crypto patch,
of which cryptoapi-2.4.3-hvr5.tar.gz is the latest one (I should really
get to finish up a new one...)

take a look at it at

http://www.hvrlab.org/pub/crypto/

if you want...

the reason you see the problems only on the first mkfs time is, because,
as soon as you mount the fs, the kernel changes the transfer block size...
and from that moment on, it stays there (unless the kernel has reason to
change it again...)

see also the README file in the above mentioned package for more
information on this issue...
