You still need it for /dev/loop*. ) install loop-AES: -- apt-get install dkms dkms remove -m loop-AES -v v3.2g --all #not needed the first time dkms add -m loop-AES -v v3.2g dkms build -m loop-AES -v v3.2g dkms install -m loop-AES -v v3.2g -- ( dkms will now automatically build new modules each time you install a new kernel. Keyscrubbing and extra ciphers are enabled. You can change this by modifying /usr/src/loop-AES-v3.2g/dkms.conf and repeating the steps above ) test your installation: -- cd /usr/src/loop-AES-v3.2g make tests EXTRA_CIPHERS=y -- - Linux-crypto: cryptography in and on the Linux system Archive: http://mail.nl.linux.org/linux-crypto/
