CRYPTOTAB(5)		       Cryptsetup Manual		  CRYPTOTAB(5)

NAME
       cryptotab - static information about crypted filesystems (deprecated)

SYNOPSIS
       cryptotab

	   LOOPDEVICE DEVICE MOUNTPOINT FILESYSTEM ALGORITHM[ MOUNTOPTIONS[
	   INFO]]

DESCRIPTION
	   Note
	   /etc/cryptotab was designed for use with the now deprecated
	   cryptoloop technology and must therefore be considered deprecated
	   as well. /etc/crypttab (note the missing “o”) should be used
	   instead.

       The file /etc/cryptotab contains descriptive informations about
       encrypted volumes. Each volume is described on a separate line; columns
       on each line are separated by tabs or spaces. Lines starting with "#"
       are comments, empty lines are ignored. The order of records in
       cryptotab is important because the /etc/init.d/boot.crypto script
       sequentially iterates through cryptotab entries.

       LOOPDEVICE     specifies the loop device
		      to use for this mapping,
		      for example /dev/loop0

       DEVICE	      specifies the block
		      special device that holds
		      the encrypted data

       MOUNTPOINT     specifies the where the
		      volume should be mounted

       FILESYSTEM     specifies the file system
		      of the volume

       ALGORITHM      specifies the encryption
		      algorithm to use

		      Supported algorithms are
		      twofish, twofishSL92 and
		      twofish256

       MOUNTOPTIONS   optionally specifies mount
		      option

       INFO	      optionally specifies a
		      string that should be
		      printed when prompting for
		      the passphrase

EXAMPLES
	   /dev/loop0 /dev/sda6 /secret ext2 twofish256
