I had this same problem and the solution was rather simple, the module for twofish wasnt loaded. do a lsmod and look for: loop_fish2 9120 0 If its not there, then do a insmod loop_fish2 and it all should work. Adam On Wed, Apr 30, 2003 at 11:51:25PM +0200, Bo Jacobsen wrote:
I'm trying to mount a file to the loopback device but the losetup command complains about it.
I'm using the command line: losetup -e twofish /dev/loop0 /root/testfile
losetup asks for a password but returns: ioctl: LOOP_SET_STATUS: invalid argument when one is entered
"losetup -e none" works
I have tried with the standard kernel in SuSE 8.2 but also kernel 2.4.20-13 with both "loopback device support" and "Twofish encryption for loopback device" compiled into the kernel.
Any suggestions.
Thanks in advance Bo Jacobsen
