I have tried the seed option as well. I was able to successfully mount the read write partition after setting up the seed. However, both had to be independent partitions on a real device. During testing, both .38 and .39rc could NOT create a seed if one or both partitions were encrypted. I believe encrypted partitions also work with a loop device for the unlocked version you write too.

If the root of the problem appears to be loop devices, you might want to report that. Err I guess you did. To me, this doesn't explain why it wouldn't work in a Virtual Machine. I would have thought the VM would treat it as a real device. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-btrfs" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
