losetup - no -H option?

wanderingidea · 2005-12-16 20:36:58

Hi,

I would very much like to be able to use something like:
losetup -e AES-256 -H sha512 /dev/loop0 ./vol_aes256
but it seems that losetup lacks the option -H to specify the hash type.
All this is because I am testing FreeOTFE.
Is there a way to specify the hash type?

Thanks,

Cor

You need either hashalot or patched losetup. Hashalot is in [current], so I think that is the preferred method. This would be the way to pipe the passphrase via hashalot:

hashalot sha512 | losetup -p0 -e AES-256 /dev/loop0 ./vol_aes256

Thanksalot, will try hashalot!
