In the last days I finally converted my fileserver at home to the dm-crypt / LUKS infrastructure of the Linux-Kernel in order to replace the old crypto-loop infrastructure which was running for some time.
I also used this to cleanup my bitbucket and enlarge my md-raid5.

Actually I was quite impressed by the speed when I set-up a the md5 raid and added the LUKS container using blowfish-cbc-essiv:sha256 and started to copy my data to this… On my old Athlon 1000 I got about 15mb/s writing performance, which is quite impressing!
