For several times in the past, updating util-linux broke my crypto fs (and according to bugzilla many more). Now it happend again after trying 2.13.1. Running 2.13-r3 worked fine before for several weeks. Also 2.13.0.1 is not doing well so I downgraded to 2.13-r2 (as long as -r3 seems to be removed from portage). Using a "wrong" version just throws the standard error: # mount /crypto/ Password: mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/loop0, missing codepage or helper program, or other error In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try dmesg | tail or so
I'm using Blowfish, this is the relevant part from /etc/fstab: /dev/sda2 /crypto reiserfs encryption=blowfish,noatime,noauto 0 0
please review the bug reporting guide: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/bugzilla-howto.xml#doc_chap6 you need to include: - emerge --info - emerge util-linux -pv - the tail of `dmesg` like the error from mount states also, please explain what you mean by "2.13.0.1 is not doing well" as that version should function pretty much exactly the same as 2.13-r2
Hm, 2.13.0.1 ist just not working (the same way like 2.13.1), 2.13-r2 (and -r3 which i run before) worked fine. Again, this happens every other update of util-linux so it might be known issue in updating util-linux. # emerge -pv util-linux These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done!

i'm guessing you're using loop-aes functionality you need to have USE=loop-aes in newer versions of util-linux ... older versions enabled it via USE=crypt ive added a message to the ebuild to note this change
Remark for other frustrated users: This bug disallows swaping with random encryption keys. /etc/fstab: /dev/hda2 none swap sw,loop=/dev/loop1,encryption=twofish $ swapon /dev/hda2 /dev/hda2: Invalid argument merging 2.13.1 +loop-aes gets back the functionality.
