Hello,
I would like to ask you. Does anybody have a real life experience with a
few TB large encrypted vnd(4) image which hosts a filesystem which is
intensively written to and read from? In such a setup where the host
device is a 4k-byte sector drive and the vnd(4) emulates a 512-byte sector
device, is it robust enough? I suppose the vnd sectors would be used in
groups of eight or more (4096-byte fragments) and would be aligned to the
host drive sectors. Are there any issues? Is the double filesystem
overhead and double buffering a problem?
AFAIK, it is the only alternative to softraid crypto discipline for
4k-byte sector drives now.
Thank you.
Regards,
David
