I've used cryptsetup with luks options, saved new data, rebooted my system, asked about passphrase in the boot level, and now I have mounted my crypto partition with saved data. That's what I did step by step: 1. I've added modules: aes, dm_mod, dm_crypt, to /etc/modules 2. Created the cryptog

Alexander, a far as I know the mapping should be recreated each time you reboot using /sbin/cryptsetup. We are using luks extension and at each reboot we need to issue cryptsetup luksOpen . Then we can mount /dev/mapper/mappername. Hope this help, Andrea Alexander Golovin ha scritto: I w
