Severity: important

Hello,

The example at the bottom of the losetup man page is wrong:

mwcollect:~# dd if=/dev/zero of=/file bs=1k count=500
500+0 records in
500+0 records out
512000 bytes transferred in 0.007168 seconds (71428660 bytes/sec)
mwcollect:~# head -c 2925 /dev/random | uuencode -m - | head -n 66 | tail -n 65 
| gpg --symmetric -a >/etc/fskey9.gpg
mwcollect:~# losetup -e AES128 -K /etc/fskey9.gpg /dev/loop0 /file
Password:
ioctl: LOOP_MULTI_KEY_SETUP_V3: Invalid argument


If you follow the example from the README it works:

mwcollect:~# dd if=/dev/zero of=/file bs=1k count=500
500+0 records in
500+0 records out
512000 bytes transferred in 0.007107 seconds (72040947 bytes/sec)
mwcollect:~# head -c 2880 /dev/random | uuencode -m - | head -n 65 | tail -n 64 
| gpg --symmetric -a >/etc/fskey9.gpg
mwcollect:~# losetup -e AES128 -K /etc/fskey9.gpg /dev/loop0 /file
Password:
mwcollect:~#


Please update the man page accordingly, this is a major inconvenience.

Thanks

Diego Biurrun
