Yes, that is a known limitation. Although there are no fundamental reasons why LVM-on-loop-AES should not work, partman-lvm currently does not consider /dev/loop* valid backing devices for LVM and so won't offer the "Use for LVM" option. This should be relatively easy to fix, but I haven't manged to find time for it yet, unfortunately. > A friend of mine succeded trying this using dm-crypt instead of > loop-aes. partman-lvm "knows" about dm-crypt encrypted devices and explicitly allows them to be used for LVM. cheers, Max -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
