Ok, I just found out that 'cryptsetup status $dst' gives us the information we need. the following works but could be implemented better: loopdev="/dev/"$(cryptsetup status "$dst" | grep "device" | sed -e 's/.*device.*\///g' | grep "^loop" || true) if ! rm_lo_setup; then device_msg "$dst" "detaching loopback failed" continue fi I added it to svn, but i'm happy to replace the loopdev=... line with some better idea ;-) greetings, jonas -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
