Hi,
i sat up an encrypted partition and now I wanna use it as a normal user.
I use this line in /etc/fstab
/dev/sdc1 /mnt/crypto ext3
loop=/dev/loop0,encryption=serpent,noauto,user,rw 0 0
i can mount it with root previleges with this line:
mount -o user,rw /dev/loop0 crypto/
but the users cant write there.
when i try mount /mnt/crypto it asks me for a password and and gives me
an error after that:
ioctl: LOOP_SET_FD: Ressource is busy (translated from german)
The main goal would be that i can select the encrypted drive in
nautilus, enter the password and use it like any other drive too.
I never done this before.
thx
h.e.
