[pkg-cryptsetup-devel] Bug#514367: freeze with cryptsetup and large loop devices

[linden_site at gmx.net]

Package: cryptsetup
Version: 2:1.0.6-7
Severity: normal
 
*** Please type your report below this line *** 
'cryptsetup -c aes-xts-plain -y -s 512 luksFormat /dev/loop0' freezes my 
system if the file behind the loopdevice is larger than about 60gb.
Same with aes-cbc-essiv.

The file is stored on an external-usb-hdd with ext4.
