[Bug 811180] New: 'loop' kernel module not always loaded automatically.
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=811180 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=811180#c0 Summary: 'loop' kernel module not always loaded automatically. Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 12.3 Version: Final Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: SUSE Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Kernel AssignedTo: kernel-maintainers@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: poolbarde@web.de QAContact: qa-bugs@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:19.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/19.0 I have installed 'truecrypt' on my opensuse 12.3 system. Mounting truecrypt volumes failes until I execute: modprobe loop But I found out, that mounting files containing filesystms works fine, and afterwads mounting truecrypt volumes works fine without using modprobe. On opensuse 12.2, I always could mount truecrypt volumes without using modprobe. So what is the difference? Why is loop module loaded automatically when mounting filesystem, but not using truecrypt? Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: How it does not work: 1. boot system 2. login 3. start truecrypt 4. mount truecrypt volume fails How it works: 1. boot system 2. execute 'modprobe loop' 3. start truecrypt 4. mount truecrypt volume works now A second way that works: 1. boot system 2. login 3. create filesystem in file: a. dd if=/dev/zero of=./myfilesystem bs=10M count=10 b. mkfs.ext3 ./myfilesystem 4. mount filesystem, there are two options: a. mount -o loop ./myfilesystem /mnt b. mount ./myfilesystem /mnt <- soo ooption '-o loop' is not mandatory - I wonder why? 5. start truecrypt 6. mount truecrypt volume works now, because loop module has been loaded automatically Expected Results: I would expect, that the 'loop' module always is loaded automatically. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Thus you cannot encrypt your home (both using YaST or calling cryptconfig).

I did not have /dev/loop0, etc... defined. Resolved with "modprobe loop" and Created file /etc/modules-load.d/loop.conf and insert a single line "loop" there, as a permanent solution. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

The loop module will be autoloaded if a program tries to access /dev/loop-control. It's no longer necessary to specify the exact loop device. 'truecrypt' doesn't seem to be an openSUSE package. So you need to report the bug to whoever you got the package from. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

There's an option to encrypt home directories in YaST http://doc.opensuse.org/documentation/html/openSUSE/opensuse-security/cha.se... which obviously fails now. I suppose the problem is on cryptconfig side, it should really access /dev/loop-control instead of /dev/loop0, but this utility was chosen by SUSE/Novell, thus I expect it to work (please either remove the encrypted home directory support from YaST or fix it). The recent loop autoload feature's broken backward compatibility. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

You have a valid point but you need to put this into a clean report. The fix for that looks different than for truecrypt. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
