Sorry for top posting, but please first read section 7.6 of FAQ losetup->cryptsetup guide or https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/11/2/162 it should help you :) I am almost sure the options you used are not valid (ESSIV was never used in cryptloop etc). You have to specify options explicitly. As mentioned in document, options cannot be detected automatically. If you cannot find solution, please post _exact_ losetup parameters you are using and exact losetup (util-linux) version from working system (very important because Suse added some patches).

How do I or what do I mount? I can't use /dev/mapper directly. I have no success trying to mkfs /dev/back5. This must be a common problem but I don't find it addressed in the opensuse forums.
