Hello, I created an encrypted container with:

Code:

losetup <dev> <file>
cryptsetup (aes-256) <name> <dev>

and it works fine. But why isn't it possible to omit "cryptsetup" and just use:

Code:

losetup -e aes-256 <dev> <file>

for the same encrypted container? It does not work for me. Are they incompatible somehow? Thanks in advance
