Help request: setting up /dev/zero using dm-crypt ...

[Ravi Prakash Putchala <praks.putchala@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

We would like to experiment and see the performance results with different options of dm-crypt. To do this we would like to setup /dev/zero with dm-crypt as mentioned in https://www.redhat.com/archives/dm-devel/2015-February/msg00106.html

However, when I did the following no new mapping gets created in /dev/mapper:

# cryptsetup -y luksFormat /dev/zero
# cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/zero dm-zero
# cryptsetup status /dev/mapper/dm-zero
/dev/mapper/dm-zero is inactive.

Could you please help by giving instructions on how to do this right?

Thank you.

Ravi
