Subject: DES encryption in loop device (kernel 2.2.1)
Date: Sat, 30 Jan 1999 19:17:03 -0500 (EST) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <XFMail.990130193525.rdicaire@vic.com> (raw)
In trying to DES encrypt a loop mounted ext2 file system, I get the
following errors:
losetup -e des /dev/loop4 MYFILE3
Password: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Init (up to 16 hex digits): xxxxxxxxxxxxx
ioctl: LOOP_SET_STATUS: Invalid argument
Using XOR works but we all know XOR isn't secure. Is there a patch to fix this?
