Hi, no :) loop2 is the decrypted device. A small example: /dev/sda1 is encrypted. Then you run losetup with some options and /dev/sda1, enter the password and after that /dev/loop1 will be created. >From now on you're using /dev/loop1 as your device node, e.g. fdisk -l /dev/loop1 If you would use /dev/sda1 instead you would just see garbage, because of the encryption :) Regards, Felix On 23.
