I admit the code is not near perfection, but then i think that comes after the community finds the idea any worth. > will it interface with crypto applications like LUKS? It should work with LUKS, as it transparently emulates a file as a block device. Please suggest a test case(webpage?) to verify it against LUKS, as i don't know much about it. As i said the code was just as a proof of concept hastily put together. I heard Linux folks hate Ideas without code :) Btw, i personally believe not everyone with an idea could code well and not every good programmer is as well creative.
