I'm trying to set up USB-key-encryption for use with a laptop. I'm running mdev instead of udev on the laptop, so lvm doesn't work. I did manage to create /dev/mapper/control by running "dmsetup mknodes" manually, but still got error messages about being unable to initialize the encryption backend.
Moving on to using loop-aes, I emerged sys-fs/loop-aes-3.7a and used the "loop-aes" variant commands whilst following the the only docs that I could find, namely http://loop-aes.sourceforge.net/loop-AES.README I ran into problems when trying to mount the loop device. Here's what happens (passphrase is properly entered)... [aa1][root][~] loop-aes-losetup -F /dev/loop0 Password: ioctl: LOOP_MULTI_KEY_SETUP_V3: Invalid argument Anybody have any ideas? -- Walter Dnes <waltd...@waltdnes.org> I don't run "desktop environments"; I run useful applications
