There may be other problems with the 2.4.18-pre3 kernel as well, that |
| 2 |
aren't inherently noticable except under very specific conditions. One of |
| 3 |
these is that the kernel modules that come with BestCrypt (a commerical |
| 4 |
w/evaluation, but open source filesystem encryption suite) cause a kernel |
| 5 |
panic when you mount two encrypted filesystems under 2.4.18-pre3. |

I've never had this problem with any previous 2.2 or 2.4 kernel, but under |
| 8 |
2.4.18-pre3 it panics. I've never debugged a kernel before, but I'm going |
| 9 |
to try. |

If anyone cares to try to this out, to confirm this issue. You can get |
| 12 |
BestCrypt from ftp.jetico.com or www.jetico.com. Either linux version |
| 13 |
(there's a 0.8 and 1.0b) All it seems to take is creating two encrypted |
| 14 |
filesystems and mounting both of them. I'm using blowfish -- not sure if |
| 15 |
it's encryption system dependant so try that one. |

Since, I also use XFS, I will treading softly and quickly going back to |
| 18 |
2.4.16. |
