Re: [Fedora-xen] Encrypted virtual machines on Fedora Core 6

i did the same a few days ago and the whole system freezes after i copied a few mb into the encrypted volume (with the newest kernel) i have no idea if it is related to this Problem --> https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=213414 but i assume not ..

One question - you did the encryption on the raw block device (/dev/md1) and then created LVM volumes within it. Any reason you didn't do it the other way around. Eg, make /dev/md1 the PV in a VG, and then encrypt individual LVM logical volumes. There shouldn't be any real difference in securitywith the latter way, and it would remove the need to run 'vgscan' after running the luksOpen command. It would also let you use difference LUKS passwords on a per-VM basis if desired.
