RE: Announce loop-AES-v1.6e file/swap crypto package

Ian:

	You do know that in a few months (around September) ReiserFS is
going to release its version 4 of ReiserFS which is supposed to have
encryption build in, right?

So if I have a file backed loop reiserfs that is on a reiserfs will that
work?

I.e. I have a file ENCRYPTED_STUFF that is my loop file containing a
resierfs 
filesystem. It is stored on a partition that has a reiserfs filesystem.
Is 
that ok? Reiser doesn't seem to have the data=ordered options that ext3
has.

thanks, Iain.
