Hash: SHA1
Package: loop-aes-utils
Version: 2.12r-13
Severity: grave
It fails to mount a crypto partition (loop AES) - dispalys either the
can't find file system (see dmesg) standard message, or some bad
IO_CONTROLL like error (I think it was the case when I had to use the
/bin/mount.orig)
I am a bit confused - should I now use 'cryptosetup' to access the
partition created by loopaes like:
losetup -T -e aes-128 /dev/loop6 -C 200 -Sfoo /dev/hda12
with fstab entry: /dev/hda12 /cr/store jfs
user,noatime,nodev,nosuid,encryption=aes-128,itercountk=200,pseed=foo 0
0
Even if yes, then this change should be made more transparent, otherwise
users like me end up suddenly with system that fails to auto mount some
of partitions, or even without (working) "mount" command at all -
therefore I report it as grave, in my case it rendered the PC unbootable
(untill maintaince and fixing).
When I by hand setup the losetup loop with identical options
and then call mount on /dev/loopX - it works fine as before.
Also, right after doing apt-get upgrade which upgraded the
loop-aes-utils probably (among other tools), the systeam was left
without ANY mount at all! there was no file /bin/mount, only file
/bin/moun.orig which I used to mount partitions and fixed system to
usable state.
I tried downgrading loop-aes-utils to sarge version but it seems it
didnt helped.
After downgrade:
blackelf:/home/raf256# sha1sum `which mount`
9cc043710d1287c0e79da9931c7a73c8c28feb07 /bin/mount
before downgrade (in current testing 2.12r-13)
blackelf:/home/raf256# sha1sum `which mount`
e458b5155d717f00db7ed39373e1edff12042207 /bin/mount
it do not work in either version:
blackelf:/home/raf256# mount /cr/store/
Password:
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/loop0,
missing codepage or other error
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so
(yes, ofcourse I am using the right mountpoint-partition, giving correct
password, and there are correct options in /etc/fstab I doublechecked all)
dmesg don't show no message regarding
