Hi there

I have come across a problem with linux-crypto and I thought I'd ask
if the problem exists for others as well.

So here we go:

modprobe cipher-aes
dd if=/dev/urandom of=/tmp/test bs=1M count=1
losetup -e aes /dev/loop0 /tmp/test
mke2fs -b 2048 /dev/loop0
mount /dev/loop0 /mnt

If this fails for you -- that's the problem. I know how to work around
it, I think I know pretty well what is going wrong internally, and
I am currently working on a proper solution.

My solution involves changes to the kernel, to losetup, _and_ the
e2fsprogs, so if somebody knows a more simple fix -- please let
me know.

Otherwise, I'd like to hear if others are experiencing this behavior
and consider this a problem, too.

TIA,

roger
