Hi. Probably a newb question; thanks in advance. I setup an encrypted fs simply by selecting that option for a partition in the Mandrake disk partitioning tool (stock mandrake 9.0). On boot, I am asked to enter the passphrase, but the mount fails with the generic error about maybe having a bad block, too many fs, etc. Once boot is complete, I get the same error if I simply try 'mount /dev/hdaX, but if I mount via the Mandrake GUI tool everything works OK. I have a couple of theories, but this is probably where my inner-newbie shows through. 1) the mount fails during the startup sequence because the loop filesystems aren't themselves mounted yet; to fix, can I just reorder things a bit in rc.sysinit? 2) there's something missing in /etc/fstab which the GUI tool is taking care of for me Or a combination of 1 and 2. Thanks again for any help. Regards, Michael __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail Plus - Powerful. Affordable.
