For now I would use a malloc backed md(4) device and dd(1) the encrypted image to the floppy after close. This also reduces a host of shadow write issues which are far more severe on floppies than on harddisks. -- Poul-Henning Kamp | UNIX since Zilog Zeus 3.20 phk@FreeBSD.ORG | TCP/IP since RFC 956 FreeBSD committer | BSD since 4.3-tahoe Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
