Hi, I'm having a problem with disk encryption using luks. I have my /home disk (on a separate disk 'sdb') encrypted using luks. I have this in /etc/cryptsetup home /dev/sdb1 ASK and this in /etc/fstab /dev/mapper/home /home ext4 defaults,user_xattr 0 1 Suddenly today, it won't accept the passphrase on boot. I'm sure that I'm entering it correctly. It took me 32 tries the first time and many more the second reboot after kernel 2.6.31.3 update. The annoying thing is that archlinux only takes three tries then fails and I have to reboot to try again. Any idea please? I'm 100% sure I'm entering the passphrase correctly. I don't have another operating system installed or anything and I go back to work in a few days so looking for a new distribution or operating system is not a favorable option. I really need help please :/ [root@LARS hussam]# cryptsetup status /dev/mapper/home /dev/mapper//dev/mapper/home is active: cipher: aes-cbc-essiv:sha256 keysize: 128 bits device: /dev/sdb1 offset: 1032 sectors size: 156295290 sectors mode: read/write
