I've decided to learn how to setup an encrypted filesystem using the cryptoloop method and I'm having troubles getting my kernal source patched correctly. I've read the "Loopback Encrypted Filesystem HOWTO", but it's outdated. Here are a number of patches for kernel 2.4.18 and I'm confused as to which one(s) to use.
I've patched using patch-int-2.4.18.2.bz2 successfully, but my compile fails at the cryptoloop part. I've tried using the "make patch-kernel ..." to patch with cryptoloop-0.0.1-pre1.tar.gz and cryptoapi-0.1.0-rc1.tar.gz, both of which failed: root # cd /usr/src/cryptoloop-0.0.1-pre1 root # make patch-kernel KDIR=/usr/src/linux-2.4.18_crypt LOOP=iv cp -pf /usr/src/linux-2.4.18_crypt/Rules.make . rm -f arch/ ln -s /usr/src/linux-2.4.18_crypt/arch . rm -f include/ ln -s /usr/src/linux-2.4.18_crypt/include . make -f Makefile.modules KDIR=/usr/src/linux-2.4.18_crypt version make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/cryptoloop-0.0.1-pre1' make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/cryptoloop-0.0.1-pre1' cd patches && ./findpatch.pl /usr/src/linux-2.4.18_crypt iv patching file linux-2.4.16/drivers/block/loop.c patching file linux-2.4.16/include/linux/loop.h cp: cannot stat `/usr/src/linux-2.4.18_crypt/crypto/drivers/Config.in': No such file or directory /bin/sh: /usr/src/linux-2.4.18_crypt/crypto/drivers/Config.in: No such file or directory `cryptoloop.c' -> `/usr/src/linux-2.4.18_crypt/crypto/drivers' cp: accessing `/usr/src/linux-2.4.18_crypt/crypto/drivers/Makefile': Not a directory make: *** [patch-kernel] Error 1 and... root # cd /usr/src/cryptoapi-0.1.0-rc1 root # make patch-kernel KDIR=/usr/src/linux-2.4.18_crypt LOOP=iv cp -pf /usr/src/linux-2.4.18_crypt/Rules.make . rm -f arch/ ln -s /usr/src/linux-2.4.18_crypt/arch . rm -f include/ ln -s /usr/src/linux-2.4.18_crypt/include . make -f Makefile.modules KDIR=/usr/src/linux-2.4.18_crypt version make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/cryptoapi-0.1.0-rc1' make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/cryptoapi-0.1.0-rc1' touch check.stamp cp -R kernel/crypto /usr/src/linux-2.4.18_crypt cp: cannot overwrite non-directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.18_crypt/crypto/drivers' with directory `kernel/crypto/drivers' make: *** [patch-kernel] Error 1 I'm googling and looking at all the docs in the patches, but I'm not finding clear answers yet. If someone can shed some light on which patch(es) I need and the order I need to apply them, and any other important pieces I'd really appreciate it. thanks, jc -- Jeff Coppock Systems Engineer Diggin' Debian Admin and User
