Extra ciphers package includes twofish, serpent and blowfish loop ciphers. For SuSE compatibility you need both packages. To mount SuSE loop_fish2 encrypted partition using loop-AES tools: mount -t ext2 /dev/hda9 /mnt -o loop=/dev/loop0,encryption=twofish128,phash=rmd160,loinit=1 Above phash=rmd160 mount option tells mount to use 100% SuSE compatible password hash and loinit=1 mount option tells loop_twofish.o kernel module to be 100% SuSE compatible. WARNING: loinit=1 option is very important as you won't have a second chance if you set that wrong. Using it on non-SuSE formatted partition or file leads to trashed file system. Not using it on SuSE formatted partition or file leads to trashed file system.
