Hello everybody,
i've read thru the list and found out, that there was a bug till
recently using gbde with lesser than 4 keys.
I started to use bde with a different sector start and 2 keys.
I am about to upgrade now to 5.3BETA6 since the pci solts on my new
mainboard that i spend to my server are not working proper on 5.2.1.
Well.. i ended up now with latest code at "incorrect superblock" when i
try to mount the fs on it.
Wanted to know what settings are "safe" to use in the future, since i am
testing a 300+ GB storage and its pretty anoying to dump and restore
that :).
I was reading phk's nice doc about GBDE and how it works. But i am still
unsure.. if 2 or 4 keys would make a difference in the question of security.
For now i will stick with 4 keys, since i might boot 5.2.1.
Greetz,
Stephan
