Problems with losetup

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I hope this ius the right place to post problems to the mailgroup 
linux-crypto, if not, please excuse my ignorance.

I think I have followed the instructions in your HOWTO to patch my linux 
2.2.18 system and utils for crpto, but I get the following error when using 
losetup with any of the new ciphers.

[root@xxxxxxxxx dlambert]# losetup -e twofish /dev/loop0 /tmp/.crypto
Password :
ioctl: LOOP_SET_STATUS: Invalid argument

This does not occur if I use XOR or NONE

I do seem to be getting the crypto modules installed in the kernel as 
witnessed by the following extract from my dmesg log.


MD5 Message Digest Algorithm (c) RSA Systems, Inc
cryptoapi: Registered md5 (5)
cryptoapi: Registered twofish (9)
cryptoapi: Registered twofish-cbc (65545)
cryptoapi: Registered serpent (7)
cryptoapi: Registered serpent-cbc (65543)
cryptoapi: Registered blowfish (4)
cryptoapi: Registered blowfish-cbc (65540)
cryptoapi: Registered des_ede3 (12)
cryptoapi: Registered des_ede3-cbc (65548)   

Any suggestions as to where to look next would be greatly appreciated.

Best regards,


David Lambert
