Mount encrypted hfs in ubuntu
- by pagid
I try to mount an encrypted hfs+ partition in ubuntu.
An older post described quite good how to do it, but lacks the information how to use encrypted partitions.
What I found so far is:
# install required packages
sudo apt-get install hfsprogs hfsutils hfsplus loop-aes-utils
# try to mount it
mount -t hfsplus -o encryption=aes-256 /dev/xyz /mount/xyz
But once I run this I get the following error:
Error: Password must be at least 20 characters.
So I tried to type it in twice, but that results in this:
ioctl: LOOP_SET_STATUS: Invalid argument, requested cipher or key (256 bits) not supported by kernel
Any suggestions?
Thx
Edit:
One thing I'm not sure about is whether I use the right password. My assumption is that it is my default one for these situations. But I'm not sure whether Max OSX choose another password (internally) for that.
