Resize losetup/cryptsetup container file

[imagenesis]

Hello, I would like to resize a container file and mounted file system is mounted with losetup on /dev/loop1 and then cryptsetup luksOpen from a file. How does one do this?

[imagenesis]

I have done:

dd if=/dev/zero of=/backups/archive bs=1048576 count=22000

and:

cryptsetup resize /dev/mapper/archive

and but I get:

resize2fs /dev/mapper/archive
resize2fs 1.41.14 (22-Dec-2010)
The filesystem is already 5631743 blocks long. Nothing to do!

Please help on how to resize a container created with the following:

dd if=/dev/zero of=/backups/archive bs=1048576 count=22000
losetup /dev/loop1 /backups/archive
cryptsetup luksFormat /dev/loop1
cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/loop1 archive
mkfs.ext2 /dev/mapper/archive

The above along with e2fsck before resize2fs worked. I accidently dd appeneded to a different file which is why it wasnt working. Really sad that no one bothered to help Stackoverflow and this forum are both kinda sucking

It looks like you're upset because we're not psychic and thus unable to figure out that what you were doing didn't work because of something you didn't tell us. I apologize for the whole forum.
