Mmmh I think you formated it here
?

i think so too. good thing i was working from backups
i noticed that running df on an unused loop device give me the same 250MB freespace output, so it looks like the file isn't being decrypted by losetup for whatever reason.

mke2fs stands for MaKeExt2FS so it clearly puts a new file system on the device. It is how you format things under linux.

mke2fs -n /dev/loop0
mke2fs 1.39 (29-May-2006)
Filesystem label=
OS type: Linux
Block size=1024 (log=0)
Fragment size=1024 (log=0)
38456 inodes, 153600 blocks

The block size is 1024bytes=1K so /dev/loop0 (pointing to what losetup did) will be 153600Kbytes.
