Subject: [gentoo-dev] ziso rather than cloop

1 I'm new here (and new to gentoo) so please forgive me if this has been
2 discussed before. I've been working with your 1.4rc3 release, adding
3 support for loopback encrypted filesystems. Everything boots fine, but
4 as the kernel I'm using doesn't have cloop support (yet), it failed at
5 the livecd load stage. My next step is of course to add cloop support
6 to my kernel, and all *should* be well...

8 It seems, though, that your use of cloop is less widely supported than
9 other solutions - it would perhaps be more robust to use the ziso
10 transparent iso decompression extension which is present in 2.4 kernels,
11 even (at least it is in my 21-pre6 kernel), for example. So I'm
12 wondering why the choice of cloop over zisofs?

14 Thanks,
