Description

While trying to create an encrypted container using tcplay I got this error message.
If anyone can help out on this one, it would be appreciated!

container(file) is zeroed-out and mounted using vnconfig vn0 imagefile

kldstat shows dm.ko and dm_target_crypt.ko loaded, but crypto.ko is not loaded --- if I try to manually load crypto.ko the returned message is "interface crypto.1 already present in the KLD 'kernel'!"

black2# tcplay --create --device=/dev/vn0

Securely erasing the volume...

Creating volume headers...
Depending on your system, this process may take a few minutes as it uses true random data which might take a while to refill

How about kldload cryptodev.ko?

Loaded the cryptodev.ko module as suggested by Sepherosa, and Tcplay works just fine.

Perhaps a note somewhere in the documentation would be useful,... or possibly find a way to load the module (cryptodev.ko) on demand if that is possible/practical.

This issue has been answered.

The 'cryptodev' module (built-in by default) must be loaded for using tcplay(8).
