I have not tested all combinations in following table, but this table
represents my understanding of SuSE twofish compatibility:
losetup + mount kernel module result notes
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~ ~~~~~
from SuSE loop_fish2 works
from SuSE loop_twofish fails 1
from SuSE cryptoloop fails 2
from loop-AES loop_fish2 works
from loop-AES loop_twofish works
from loop-AES cryptoloop fails 2,3
from kerneli.org loop_fish2 works
from kerneli.org loop_twofish fails 1
from kerneli.org cryptoloop fails 2
notes:
1. Fails because losetup and mount are not capable of putting kernel
module to SuSE compatible mode.
2. Fails because kernel module does not have SuSE compatible mode.
3. Fails because losetup and mount do not support CryptoAPI.
