Deleting encrypted file doesn't work on Suse 9.2 & yast2 (console or KDE) - how to remove it ?
Hi, I've added encrypted file for just a short test. But now it seems I cannot remove it anymore. I'm trying to delete it in Yast (console or KDE), but nothing happens... How to remove it manually ? How to remove it through Yast ? Thanks in advance, regards, Rob.

Encrypted file? What is that? Or do you mean encripted file system? Please expand information. -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson

Sorry, not clear information. I've created crypted filesystem that resides in file on disk. Now I just can't get rid of it through same Yast menus... Regards, Rob.

Ah, I see. Well, manual procedure - I write checking on my 9.1, yours might be slightly different: * umount crypto filesystem. As root, issue command "/etc/init.d/boot.crypto stop". * There will be a line in the configuration file /etc/cryptotab, starting with something like "/dev/loop0", comment it out. * Finally, delete the encrypted file. You can get the filename and path from the previous step. -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
