Hi guys, 

I've been using gentoo-sources and the cryptoloop driver in it, to run
my encrypted partitions. 

Now I want to run 2.6.0-test kernels (they run fine - I run them on
several machines, that do not require encryption :) - but I don't know
how to make encrypted partitions, that work on both 2.4 and 2.6 kernels
(preferrably, otherwise 2.6 only :)

I use util-linux-2.11z-r1 and if I try to upgrade to 2.12 losetup won't
loopmount my encrypted partition. 

I've read that Alan Cox says the best driver is the out-of-kernel
loop-aes, which also works for both 2.4 and 2.6, but the ebuild for that
is gone now - why?

What do you guys do? 

and p.s. am I the only one who would like an encryption that supports
plausable deniability (like rubberhose.org does - but only for 2.2
kernels)? would be too cool, to be able to give one password, and you
only see a certain set of files - and another then you can see the other
files - but you can't see that a second set of files exists (and if you
fill up the partition, given only one of the passwords, the other will
ofcourse be overwritten - but it will never be noticed that it was ever
there :)
