Hi.

I wanted to setup a blowfish encrypted file which is then mounted via
loopback. So I did:

losetup -e blowfish /dev/loop0 /file
Password:
mkfs -t ext3 /dev/loop0
mount /dev/loop0 /mnt
<error unknown fs type>
<from here something was seriously broken... could not reboot anymore>

system is:
Linux no 2.6.0-test7 #8 Sun Oct 26 17:00:49 CET 2003 ppc GNU/Linux

(benh rsync tree)

Soeren.

I can confirm, having similar problem. I am using Debian Sid & 
2.6.0-test9, with 4Gig highmem support (1.5G physical RAM). When reading 
from cryptoloop (dd if=/dev/loop0 of=testoutput), it seems to produce 
only noise. Each run of dd produces completely different heap of 
garbage. When I disable highmem, getting rid of about 512 Megs, 
cryptoloop seems to work as expected - I can do losetup & mke2fs & mount 
& read/write files & unmount & losetup -d & again.. ad nauseam.

Regards,
