I have a Linux RH9, and I want to compile the kernel to add support for encrypted file system (using the loop device).
My question is: How can I set all the parameters compiled in my current kernel version (2.4.20-8) which came with the distribution? (This way I will only change the encryption part and not all the kernel params)
Another question: What patch do I have to apply in order to get the encryption working? I googled for it, but there is so much data I got confused. Currently, when I perform the command "losetup -e aes-256 /dev/loop0 .crypto" I get the error: "ioctl: LOOP_SET_STATUS: Invalid argument". I understood that this means that the kernel does not support encryption. Correct me if I'm wrong.
Waiting for your replies, David.
