I'm trying to create an encrypted loop device, but when I try to execute 
'losetup -e blowfish  ~/encripted_file' I get the following error (after 
typing the password):
ioctl: LOOP_SET_STATUS: invalid argument

Anybody knows why this happens?

Toshiro.

PS: I'm running Debian unstable with all the latest packages, and I have both  
'loop.o' and 'blowfish.o' loaded.
