What is a "loop way"? I googled it together with Linux and file and did not find anything. Is this simply like a separate file that is LUKS-encrypted and I would then mount it for remote access? If so, what would prevent the hosting company - which I presume is the root user - from also accessing it? _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
