Title: cryptohome error
Post by: alex on April 16, 2009, 05:12:47 AM

Hi:

I'm trying to make a cryptohome loopfile. I can see the loopfile created but then realized that the process is aborted in the middle, the loopfile isn't formatted and don't ask for a password. I'm doing this on a FAT formatted pendrive.

I will check into this when I get home tonight. Of course, it can take a while for the cryptohome file to be made, and it is essential not to close the dialog window until the process is completed.

I see, password is not being asked for at the end of the filemaking and encrypting.  I will check further.

Now it works with a fat16 usb key, can't explain why other than delete the file and try again.

I'm having the same problem.  I *think* I got it to ask me for a password at one point which may have been tinycore_1.2rc2, but it doesn't anymore.  Running the commands manually, "losetup -e" is rejected as an invalid option.  Poking through busybox menuconfig, its help says encryption is not supported.  This is with busybox 1.13.3.

Did it work previously or has it been fixed?

Fixed in 1.4.
