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
