I setup an encrypted FS via the loopback device on a Suse 8.2 system, and a SLES8 system, and didn't have too many troubles. I don't think it was the CryptoAPI, but I don't think it was named either. :-) Getting the software and making it work wasn't too hard, all the RPMs needed were on the distro CDs. There were a few rough parts that had me scratching my head, but by reading very slowly and carefully plus a little trial and error, I got it working. See /usr/share/doc/howto/en/html/Loopback-Encrypted-Filesystem-HOWTO.html. Kevin Thomas Gaertner wrote:

Hello List,
I want to setup encrypted loopback devices using CryptoAPI from kernel 2.4.25.
So my problem is, that the tools from util-linux which is from 8.2 are not aware of the CryptoAPI drivers.
Does anybody know, where to get the correct util-linux package, as well as the patches needed to make it using the CryptoAPI implementation from kernel 2.4.25?
Thanks...
