Hello, there !
I just need any kind of help with mentioned loop-AES's way of encrypting data. It happend that I encrypted ..luckily ?, I don't know .. my super confidential data... but I'm not able now to read it. .... I mean I can't setup encrypted loop device on my files. That's what I get : ------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- --- ---- linux-ej56:/mnt/media/music # losetup \ -e aes-256 /dev/loop1 /mnt/media/music/DvM01a.data Password:
<< and the answer is .. >>
ioctl: LOOP_SET_STATUS: Invalid argument, requested cipher or key length (256 bits) not supported by kernel linux-ej56:/mnt/media/music #
Sounds like the cryptoloop kernel module is not loaded. Do this to see if this is the case:
# lsmod | grep cryptoloop
If it is not loaded, do so with:
# modprobe cryptoloop
See the manual for modprobe for details and other options. To make the module load at boot time, see what system-wide configuration file is used. Here on SuSE, this is /etc/sysconfig/kernel (MODULES_LOADED_ON_BOOT).
Cheers!
..Damm Me.. It works ! Man - T-H-A-N-K-S ! I thought I've lost for that data forever .. and it's not funny option .. Thanks again. (PS: cryptoloop wasn't started - I don't know what I've been thinking about ..) .. aha.. but I find another method to decrypt that encrypted by AES256 data, ..using aespipe ...and it works fine, but it's good to know that I can count on loop-aes too.
