Hi, I got problems with loop-aes v1.4h and util-linux-2.11m . I have read and done everything that stands in the README of loop-aes v1.4h and created an encrypted fs of /dev/hdb1 with AES-256. That seem to work just perfect, thanks alot Jari! The problem is that I did build new mount, umount, losetup binaries and they do cause me trouble during bootup of my RedHat 7.2 Linux box. I get this error during bootup: Mounting local filesystems: mount: invalid option -- O <Here comes usage for mount.> Then the init pukes ugly messages like "no such file: /var/lock/subsys/syslog, ipchains, ..." and the like... after timeouts of like 10 minutes system finally comes up and I then need to start the services (like syslog) manually. (The path /var/lock/subsys/ is correct so I am abit confused with the above error-messages.) If I switch to the original binaries of mount, umount, losetup and reboots the system there are no problems. But then I need to (ofcourse) switch to the loop-aes versions of mount, umount, losetup to be able to mount my encrypted partitions and then it works perfect. When examing the man-pages of the old and the new mount I see that the "-O" switch isn't there anymore so I suppose that is the problem. Any idea how to fix this? (Not fun to switch binaries during every reboot). I think this line in /etc/rc.sysinit causes the problem: action $"Mounting local filesystems: " mount -a -t nonfs,smbfs,ncpfs -O no_netdev Can I change this line in some way to come away from the "-O" parameter? Any help with this would be really nice... :) Regards, Friedrisch __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
