Some additional puzzling information. I have an exact copy of feisty on sda13, which I used to copy to sda10. The only difference is that sda13 is unencrypted, while sda10 is encrypted. So, I have just tried the same commands in sda13 that failed inside the encrypted partition.
The results are completely different. On sda13, cryptsetup luksOpen works as it should. golfbuf :~$ ls -la /dev/mapper/ total 0 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 100 2007-04-10 17:59 . drwxr-xr-x 14 root root 14280 2007-04-10 18:00 .. crw-rw---- 1 root root 10, 63 2007-04-10 13:51 control brw-rw---- 1 root disk 254, 1 2007-04-10 17:59 cryptswap brw-rw---- 1 root disk 254, 0 2007-04-10 17:56 sda10 golfbuf :~$ cat /proc/swaps Filename Type Size Used Priority /dev/mapper/cryptswap partition 1951856 0 -1 golfbuf :~$ sudo cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sda8 crypt8 Enter LUKS passphrase: key slot 0 unlocked.
