Introduction to the encryption API of Linux system and how to use it.
The Required Tools and Components
To be able to work together with the right version of loop devices, we must install some system components, the most important one here is the util-linux, and normally you can find them in /sbin.
If you do not have the util-linux2.12 on your Linux system, then
#tar –xzf util-linux2.12.tar.gz
#cd util-linux2.12
#./configure
#cd lib
#make
#cd ../mount
#make
After this, copy the file to the certain directories
#cp mount umount /usr/local/bin
#cp losetup /usr/local/sbinYou can replace the original ones in the /bin and the /sbin, but this operation is not a mandatory one.
