Hello, JR> Looks like the kernel sources in /home/bstaron/linux-2.6.8.1/ are not ready JR> for module compiling. JR> The fix is to recompile and install new kernel in that kernel source JR> directory and then compile a new loop module for for that new kernel. JR> Something like this: Great. Everything works again :) However, one question remains. In the current readme this part: =================================================================== In multi-key loop cases "losetup -a" command run by root user should output "multi-key-v3" indicating that loop is really in multi-key-v3 mode. If no "multi-key-v3" string shows up, your loop setup is a time bomb. =================================================================== Well, I did a complete install, also util-linux as described in the readme. After everything was installed and reboot and mount I see this: linux:/home/bstaron# losetup -a /dev/loop3: [0305]:684215 (/dev/hda7) encryption=AES128 multi-key-v2 This is of course created with one of the 2.2 versions of loop-aes. It seems it's normal for an old keyfile. I created a new keyfile and partition with v3 and it shows multi key v3. -- bye, Bodo - Linux-crypto: cryptography in and on the Linux system Archive: http://mail.nl.linux.org/linux-crypto/
