encrypted partitions on linux-2.6 - how?

[Klavs]

Hi guys,

I've been using gentoo-sources and the cryptoloop driver in it, to run my encrypted partitions.

Now I want to run 2.6.0-test kernels (they run fine - I run them on several machines, that do not require encryption - but I don't know how to make encrypted partitions, that work on both 2.4 and 2.6 kernels (preferrably, otherwise 2.6 only

I use util-linux-2.11z-r1 and if I try to upgrade to 2.12 losetup won't loopmount my encrypted partition.

What do you guys do?

and p.s. am I the only one who would like an encryption that supports plausable deniability (like rubberhose.org does - but only for 2.2 kernels)? would be too cool, to be able to give one password, and you only see a certain set of files - and another then you can see the other files - but you can't see that a second set of files exists (and if you fill up the partition, given only one of the passwords, the other will ofcourse be overwritten - but it will never be noticed that it was ever there
