Sounds like something bad happened to your key file. Can you provide output of following commands? gpg --decrypt </PATH/TO/keyfile.gpg | wc strings /sbin/losetup | grep multi-key-v3 First 64 KB of reiserfs plaintext should be all zeroes. Following commands will hex dump first 64 KB of plaintext. If there are ranges of non-zero data in the hex dump, can you provide address ranges of the non-zero areas? /sbin/losetup -e AES128 -K /PATH/TO/keyfile.gpg /dev/loop0 /dev/vg00/lv_crypt dd if=/dev/loop0 bs=64k count=1 | od -Ax -tx1 - | less /sbin/losetup -d /dev/loop0 -- Jari Ruusu 1024R/3A220F51 5B 4B F9 BB D3 3F 52 E9 DB 1D EB E3 24 0E A9 DD - Linux-crypto: cryptography in and on the Linux system Archive: http://mail.nl.linux.org/linux-crypto/
