I'm looking to create an encrypted filesystem. I am trying to follow the instructions of the Loopback-encrypted-filesystem HOWTO at http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Loopback-Encrypted-Filesystem-HOWTO-3.html
However, when I try to issue the following command: losetup -e des /dev/loop3 /etc/cryptfile I get a prompt for password, then a prompt for Init (up to 16 hex digits). After entering some hex digits, I get: ioctl: LOOP_SET_STATUS: Invalid argument Using XOR works, so I assume that this has something to do with DES, but I don't know how to make it work. The howto is a bit dated and I don't think I need to patch the kernel, but I'm not sure how to proceed. Lastly, if there is a better way to keep have an encrypted filesystem, please let me know. I was going to try CFS, but the loopback device (initially) seemed easier.
