LUKS Error


Hi all,

Can anybody help me to resolve the following error which I am encountering while encrypting /dev/volgrp/lvg2 using Luks.

[root@tux ~]# cryptsetup luksFormat /dev/volgrp/lvg2


WARNING!
========
This will overwrite data on /dev/volgrp/lvg2

Are you sure? (Type uppercase yes):YES
Enter LUKS passphrase:
Verify passphrase:
Failed to setup dm-crypt key mapping.
Check karnel for support for the aes-cbc-essiv:sha566 cipher
spec and verify that /dev/volgro/lvg2 contains atleast 133 sectors.
Failed to write to key storage.


Your help will be appreciated...

Thanks.
