Public bug reported: I made an encrypted filesystem (on a file) using truecrypt.
I didn't know if this was going to work or not, so I tried it out... losetup -e aes myfile /dev/loop/0 Password: -- (Some message about an invalid argument) (ok, so I'll try again) losetup -e aes myfile /dev/loop/0 Password: -- (hangs there, a newline or CTRL-C doesn't do anything) So I figured that the process went in interruptible sleep because the kernel OOPSed or BUGed...
