Hi,
I need to make a RAID5 disk with encryption and I want to know if it is
possible to use RAID5 on top of six encrypted disks /dev/sd[abcdef]
-(losetup)-> /dev/loop/[012345] -(mdadm)-> /dev/md0. I have made some
tests and in my opinion (which is proved in these tests) it will be
faster than standard dev-loop-raid configuration. Are there any problems
which I didn't realize? Do You have any experience with using this
configuration?

Thanks
Ihi
