Bug 121118 – Timing of Swap Activiation Before Module Autoloading with crypto loop

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

[Description astlan 2006-01-31 18:25:02 UTC]

I am using loop-aes with gentoo.  Previous to recently upgrading my system, which involved upgrading portage, baselayout, sysvinit versions.  Now swap gets activated prior to the module autoloading.  The problem is I am using a loop-aes encrypted swap partition so activating swap before the modules are loaded causes the default loop module to load with default parameters.  I use a different parameter for loading the loop module (max_loop=20), but once loop is loaded by activating swap, it only loads the default which is a max of 8 loop devices created.  I have searched the forums, asked in IRC #gentoo, and even googled for a solution to this.  I am new to this, so if the problem has a simple solution, my apologies.
