*WARNING*
Never use single-key loop-aes v.1.x in dsl!
It's old and is *broken* encryption-wise. Your data is vulnerable to attacks.
If the 'protect' tarball encryption is not enough, use multikey v.3.x loop-aes in dsl-n or knoppix. I think you can probably mount your single-key encrypted partition with v.3 loop-aes in dsl-n, make a multikey encrypted partition with loop-aes v.3, mount both, then copy your data across from your unsafe partition to your new safe partition.
Then umount your old partition and *shred* the whole thing many times. Or use wipe -b /dev/hdwhatever
Also, never try to mount your v3 loop-aes partition with the old loop driver in dsl - you might bork your data.
Also - don't use swap, or, if you do, encrypt it.
