Description Tilman Giese 2007-09-03 20:42:55 UTC 
After upgrading to util-linux-2.13, I am no longer able to mount my twofish-256 encrypted file systems.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge --update =sys-apps/util-linux-2.13-r1
2. losetup -e twofish256 /dev/loop0 /dev/md0 (assuming that /dev/md0 is encrypted)

Actual Results:  
losetup fails with the following error message:
ioctl: LOOP_SET_STATUS: No such file or directory

Expected Results:  
no error

*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 190819 ***
Comment 2 Tilman Giese 2007-09-03 21:08:17 UTC 
Just a question for clarification: Is this really a duplicate of bug 190819? I am talking about the cryptoloop approach and the decryption itself that is not working whereas bug 190819 is talking about the dm-crypt approach and a name mismatch of the devices. To my mind, these are two separate things.

> am talking about the cryptoloop approach

In that case - INVALID. That patch is gone, dead, removed.
Comment 4 Tilman Giese 2007-09-03 22:18:42 UTC 
As far as I know, cryptoloop is only deprecated but not removed from util-linux. And indeed, I am able to mount file systems encrypted with 'twofish' using cryptoloop, but I am not able to use 'twofish256' as encryption algorithm.

SAME PROBLEM, someone PLEASE FIX!
Comment 7 Thomas Klotz 2008-03-31 07:48:29 UTC 
Got the same problem after upgrading to util-linux-2.13. Temporary workaround: downgrade to util-linux-2-12-r1, so you can at least access your files :)
