it's been a while since i've played with filesystem encryption so, on centos 5.4 (and other linux distros), is dm-crypt/LUKS considered to be the state of the art WRT encryption? i remember other solutions like loop-aes and others, but what's considered the gold standard these days?

dm-crypt/LUKS is what the installer in Fedora sets up these days, so I'd say it's still the "standard" solution.

Yes, dm-crypt/LUKS/ configured in /etc/crypttab is the "blessed" way afaik.
