Dazed and Confused



I obviously don't get it.

I have two 5GB files, /data/data0 and /data/data1.  I would like to be 
able to mount either, or both
(at the same time) using a cipher.  First my problem, then my configuration.

$ /usr/local/sbin/losetup -e aes -k 192 /dev/loop1 /data/data1
$ /usr/local/sbin/mount /mnt/crypt/data1
$ /usr/local/sbin/mount /mnt/crypt/data0

I don't know how it is that I can even mount /data0, because the fstab 
file uses loop0 for data0.  Anyway,

$ ls /mnt/crypt/data0
data  lost+found

Notice, the data directory.

$ /usr/local/sbin/umount /mnt/crypt/data0
$ /usr/local/sbin/umount /mnt/crypt/data1
$ /usr/local/sbin/losetup -d /dev/loop1
$ /usr/local/sbin/losetup -e aes -k 192 /dev/loop0 /data/data0
$ /usr/local/sbin/mount /mnt/crypt/data0
$ ls /mnt/crypt/data0
lost+found

Notice, the data directory is nolonger there!

What the heck is going on?  What is the proper way to mount multiple 
encrypted files via a loop back?

Here is my configuration.

$ lsmod
Module                  Size  Used by    Tainted: P 
cipher-aes             23636   1
