1 I submitted a patch to device-mapper-1.00.07 that makes dmsetup lock its
2 pages. This should prevent swaps between 'hashalot | dmsetup', so with
3 a few changes to the dm-crypt init script, people should be able to
4 encrypt their block devices leaving swap unencrypted, and not have to
5 worry about their key leaking to swap. checkout the following if
6 interested.
