of course I did ;-)
and I found something like this mini how-to U wrote (thanks a lot!)
What I wanted to say is that there is no official how-to in my FC2 distrib
ok for the dd, losetup, mkfs and mount the encrypted file on the mount point
it is working fine !

Sorry I was not clear
I mean : crypto api seems to ask for the key lengh 128, 256... when losetup
the file
here with losetup, nothing is asked except a password.
The question is : can we choose the key lengh or/and what is the default key
lengh ?

I mean, is it possible to encrypt a device, a whole slice or disk. For
exemple I want /dev/hdb to be mounted "on demand" onto /encrypted using aes
256bits ? I hope it was possible using LVM or something else...
Anyway thanks for the mini-howto. I'm sure it will be very usefull for a
lots !
Question for fun : is this method to protect data really strong ?
I mean, i know it depends on the crypto module that is used but for example
with two-fish or aes, is it really hard (or quite possible/impossible) to
decode data once dismonted ???
Thanks for your help
