Please post exact commands that you used to configure, compile and install your kernel, as well as command that you used to compile loop-AES' module. > Like i said earlier, the loop still exists when i simply unmount as i can > remount without password prompt, but fsck couldn't get a clue about the FS > until loop was deleted and re-created. In my previous reply, I asked for you to disclose your exact fsck command syntax that you used. Please post that. Otherwise you are just wasting my time. Please post output of these commands after you experience the fsck problem: tune2fs -l /dev/loop2 losetup -a lsmod ls -l /etc/mtab dmesg uname -a > Another thing though, i've had no swapspace since the "2.4.19 or 2.4.20 > breaks encrypted swap" thread at the start of the year, has this been fixed > now? Does newest loop-aes fix it or must i use 2.4.21? This problem is fixed in loop-AES-v1.7b and later versions. v1.7b was released in January.
