I recently decided to encrypt the / Linux partition (ext3) on my
dual boot PC (Windows Vista - Fedora 10).
I used to mount it with "Ext2 Installable File System for Windows"
(http://www.fs-driver.org) when using Windows, but now that the
partition is encrypted, its contents (obviously) appear unreadable
and I'm offered to format it.
I was told that software like FreeOTFE and TrueCrypt should let me
mount the encrypted partition under Windows if I have the ext3 driver,
but it didn't work for me. Will I necessarily have to create a new
encrypted volume with one of those programs and then reinstall Fedora
(or Windows) in it instead of simply mounting the existing encrypted
partition?
I have this bookmarked but I have not tried it as I do not have any
windows computers to try it with. It was a "Just in case".

I wonder if your having an issue in character coding between Windows
and Linux. Try setting a second key that is basic for testing and see
if it works. You can delete it later.
luksAddKey
luksRemoveKey or luksKillSlot
That's an interesting idea. Maybe not just character coding, but also

Hope I pointed you in the right direction. Let us know how it goes.
