I run RedHat8.0 out of the box and have loaded all the modules that I think I should:
[root@juliette mjanich]# lsmod
Module Size Used by Not tainted
cryptoloop 2716 0 (unused)
cipher-aes 23604 0 (unused)
cryptoapi 7116 5 [cryptoloop cipher-aes]
loop 12152 2 [cryptoloop]
and I tried to setup the loop (on the file crated by dd if=/dev/urandom of=test.img bs=1k count=65536):
root@juliette mjanich]# losetup -e aes /dev/loop0 test.img
Unsupported encryption type aes
[root@juliette mjanich]# losetup -e AES /dev/loop0 test.img
Unsupported encryption type AES
[root@juliette mjanich]# losetup -e AES128 /dev/loop0 test.img
Unsupported encryption type AES128
[root@juliette mjanich]# losetup -e aes128 /dev/loop0 test.img
Unsupported encryption type aes128
[root@juliette mjanich]# losetup --help
losetup: invalid option -- -
usage:
losetup loop_device # give info
losetup -d loop_device # delete
losetup [ -e encryption ] [ -o offset ] loop_device file # setup
It looks much like I have an old/wrong version of losetup!? Or does it have a different
name under redhat 8.0? If it has all the cryptoloop stuff built in, it must have some
losetup, that is working!?!?!
Any help is much appreciated!!
Michael
