Hi!
I just set up two partitions with cryptsetup (dm-crypt and luks).
Since they have the same password set I wonder if I could avoid typing in the password twice.

Also, is it possible to hide the algorithm and hash used for the encryption as with loop-aes and truecrypt?
Thanks

dm_crypt was not designed to be used for plausible deniability, so this is unfortunately not possible.

I think you mean LUKS-dmcrypt, not dmcrypt by itself.

Oops, yes, I meant dm_crypt with LUKS.
