Yes. Everything that can be encrypted with dm-crypt can also be |
| 9 |
encrypted with loop-AES. |

For example, my laptop has two hard drives. I have a raid0 array with |
| 12 |
hda2 and hdd2. Loop-AES encrypts /dev/md0, giving me /dev/loop/0. That |
| 13 |
in turn is a physical volume for LVM2, which gives me the logical |
| 14 |
devices for all of my filesystems (except /boot, obviously) and swap. |
