Hello, the stable version 2.1-0 of ScramDisk for Linux has been released. It now supports TrueCrypt 7 containers. Moreover, some bugs have been fixed. Packages for Debian 5.0 and 6.0, Fedora 14, SUSE 11.3 and Ubuntu 10.04, and 10.10 are provided for i386 and AMD64 (or x86_64 respectively) architectures. The kernel version is part of the filename of binary packages and must match the kernel version of the system it is installed on. The architecture i386 or x86_64 in the filename should also match the architecture of the distribution on which it is installed. Best regards Ulrich |

Hello, the stable version 2.0-0 of ScramDisk for Linux has been released. It now supports TrueCrypt 5 and 6 containers. The new features of handling partitioned containers or whole partitioned hard disks and of creating a swap space within a container and using such an encrypted swap space have been added. Moreover, some bugs have been fixed. Packages for CentOS 5.3, Debian 3.1, 4.0 and 5.0, Fedora 10, Mandriva 2009, SUSE 11.0 and 11.1 and Ubuntu 8.04 and 8.10 are provided for i386 and AMD64 architectures. Packages for Ubuntu 9.04 will follow soon. The kernel version is part of the filename of binary packages and must match the kernel version of the system it is installed on. The architecture i386 or x86_64 in the filename should also match the architecture of the distribution on which it is installed. Best regards Ulrich |

Hello, The stable version 1.3-0 of ScramDisk for Linux has been released. It has the new functionality of a container timeout. If activated on mounting a container, this container will be unmounted after it has been inactive for the configured time. The NTFS filesystem is now supported by ScramDisk for Linux. Moreover, some bugs have been fixed. Packages for CentOS 5, Debian 3.1 and 4.0, Fedora 7 and 8, Mandriva 2008.0, SuSE 10.2 and 10.3 and Ubuntu 7.04 and 7.10 are provided for i386 and AMD64 architectures. The kernel version is part of the filename of binary packages and must match the kernel version of the system it is installed on. The architecture i386 or x86_64 in the filename should also match the architecture of the distribution on which it is installed. Best regards Ulrich |

Hello, the stable version 1.2-0 of ScramDisk for Linux has been released. It has the new functionality of reformatting containers from ScramDisk to TrueCrypt format. Moreover, the documentation was extended to include some technical background on the container format. And, finally, six bugs have been fixed. This version is available for CentOS, Debian, Fedora, SuSE and Ubuntu distributions. It comprises a kernel driver scramdisk.ko (scramdisk.o for systems with kernel 2.4.x), the graphical user interface scramdisk and five small utilities sdcreate, sdchange, sdmount, sdreformat and sdumount. After a container has been mounted any data could be read from or written to the file system inside the container ransparently with help of the driver scramdiks.ko. By unmounting the container the file system becomes inaccessible again. This can be done by the Mount and Unmount buttons of the graphical user interface or by sdmount and sdumount. The kernel version is part of the filename of binary packages and must match the kernel version of the system it is installed on. The architecture i386 or x86_64 in the filename should also match the architecture of the distribution on which it is installed. Best regards Ulrich |

Hello, the stable version 1.1-0 of ScramDisk for Linux has been released. It has reworked the kernel driver and now handles input and output requests in separate kernel threads for each container. Thereby, input/output errors are fixed which occasionally occured in previous versions under heavy load. Moreover, handling of large containers of 2 GB and above has been fixed. Finally, the passphrase input lines for scramdisk containers are now restricted to 39 characters each. This was 40 characters previously. By this change full compatibility with the windows scramdisk v3.01r3c is achieved This version is available for CentOS, Debian, Fedora, SuSE and Ubuntu distributions. It comprises a kernel driver scramdisk.ko (scramdisk.o for systems with kernel 2.4.x), the graphical user interface scramdisk and four small utilities sdcreate, sdchange, sdmount and sdumount. After a container has been mounted any data could be read from or written to the file system inside the container ransparently with help of the driver scramdiks.ko. By unmounting the container the file system becomes inaccessible again. This can be done by the Mount and Unmount buttons of the graphical user interface or by sdmount and sdumount. The kernel version is part of the filename of binary packages and must match the kernel version of the system it is installed on. Best regards Ulrich |

Hello, the stable version 1.0-2 of ScramDisk for Linux has been released. It fixes two bugs and solves a small feature request. The bugs concern mounting of ext3 file systems with option 'auto' and unmounting from kernel if file system mount failed (Tracker 1746730 and 1750002). The new feature disables access right checks on block devices to be mounted as containers (Tracker 1750005). As version 1.0-0, version 1.0-2 opens and creates TrueCrypt containers as well as ScramDisk containers. The supported format of TrueCrypt containers is that of TrueCrypt version 4.1 or later using the LRW mode. Moreover, ScramDisk 1.0-2 can encrypt devices such as partitions on a hard disk or storage media entirely without indirection by a container file. Packages for CentOS 5, Debian 3.1 (Sarge) and 4.0 (Etch), Fedora 7 and Core6, SUSE 10.1 and 10.2 and Ubuntu 6.06, 6.10 and 7.04 are provided for i386 and AMD64 architectures. Best regards Ulrich |

Hello, the stable version 1.0-1 of ScramDisk for Linux has been released. It fixes two vulnerabilities by which a normal user could obtain root privileges. Now, for normal users, containers are mounted in a way such that the execution of programs with setuid-bit from within the container is inhibited. Moreover, version 1.0-1 forbids mounting a container on a mount point to which the user has no write access. This is so, because otherwise a normal user could mount his container over a system directory and thereby replace system files with his own ones. We advise every user of SD4L to update to version 1.0-1. As version 1.0-0, version 1.0-1 opens and creates TrueCrypt containers as well as ScramDisk containers. The supported format of TrueCrypt containers is that of TrueCrypt version 4.1 or later using the LRW mode. Moreover, ScramDisk 1.0-1 can encrypt devices such as partitions on a hard disk or storage media entirely without indirection by a container file. Packages for Debian 3.1 (Sarge) and 4.0 (Etch), Ubuntu 6.06 and 6.10, Fedora Core5 and Core6 and SUSE 9.3, 10.0, 10.1 and 10.2 are provided for i386 and AMD64 architectures. Best regards Ulrich |

Hello, (once again since the first mails seems to have been lost). The stable version 1.0-0 of ScramDisk for Linux has been released. It now opens and creates TrueCrypt containers as well as ScramDisk containers. The supported format of TrueCrypt containers is that of TrueCrypt version 4.1 or later using the LRW mode. Moreover, ScramDisk 1.0-0 can encrypt devices such as partitions on a hard disk or storage media entirely without indirection by a container file. Packages for Debian 3.1 (Sarge), Ubuntu 6.06 and 6.10, Fedora Core5 and Core6 and SUSE 9.3, 10.0, 10.1 and 10.2 are provided for i386 and AMD64 architectures. The sources are released as src.rpm and tar.gz archives. English and german documentation is provided in PDF format as in the previous release. For .deb and .rpm packages the kernel version is part of the file name. The kernel version for which the package has been built must match the version of the running kernel. Otherwise SD4L may not function properly or even may not install. Best regards Ulrich |
