util-linux

You should exercise EXTREME caution when replacing utilities that are required for booting your system.

To patch and build:

(under Debian: apt-get zlib1g-dev as a prerequisite)

cd /usr/src/util-linux-2.12/

patch -p1 < /usr/src/loop-AES-2.0d/util-linux-2.12.diff

export CFLAGS=-O2

./configure

make SUBDIRS="lib mount"

If it compiles correctly, install it like so (perhaps make a backup first, eh?):

(under Debian you need to put the mount package on hold like so: echo mount hold | dpkg –set-selections )

cd mount

install -m 4755 -o root mount umount /bin

install -m 755 losetup swapon /sbin

rm -f /sbin/swapoff && ( cd /sbin && ln -s swapon swapoff )

rm -f /usr/share/man/man8/{mount,umount,losetup,swapon,swapoff}.8.gz

install -m 644 mount.8 umount.8 losetup.8 /usr/share/man/man8

install -m 644 swapon.8 swapoff.8 /usr/share/man/man8

rm -f /usr/share/man/man5/fstab.5.gz

install -m 644 fstab.5 /usr/share/man/man5
