Dear All, please, any help appreciated: I'm using gentoo with encrypted partitions on the disk. Yesterday I did update of the machine with 'emerge --sync; emerge world'. After this upgrade it's no longer possible to mount the encrypted disk partitions. I've tried to go back with the version of util-linux, but no success. Here are some logs: ---- FSTAB: # <fs> <mountpoint> <type> <opts> <dump/pass> # NOTE: If your BOOT partition is ReiserFS, add the notail option to opts. /dev/hda1 /boot ext3 noauto,noatime 1 1 /dev/hda3 / ext3 noatime 0 0 /dev/hda2 swap swap pri=1 0 0 /dev/cdroms/cdrom0 /mnt/dvd udf,iso9660 exec,noauto,ro,user 0 0 /dev/cdroms/cdrom1 /mnt/cdrom udf,iso9660 noauto,ro,user 0 0 /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto 0 0 /dev/hda4 /home auto exec,user,loop,encryption=aes 0 0 /dev/hdb1 /data auto exec,user,loop,encryption=aes 0 0 /dev/sda1 /mnt/camera vfat user,noauto 0 0 # NOTE: The next line is critical for boot! none /proc proc defaults 0 0 # glibc 2.2 and above expects tmpfs to be mounted at /dev/shm for # POSIX shared memory (shm_open, shm_unlink). # (tmpfs is a dynamically expandable/shrinkable ramdisk, and will # use almost no memory if not populated with files) # Adding the following line to /etc/fstab should take care of this: none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0 #none /proc/bus/usb usbfs defaults 0 0 --------------------- THESE FILES were upgraded to new version 1127563292: Started emerge on: Sep 24, 2005 14:01:32 1127563292: *** emerge world 1127563294: >>> emerge (1 of 16) mail-client/pine-4.63-r3 to / 1127563294: === (1 of 16) Cleaning (mail-client/pine-4.63-r3::/usr/portage/mail-client/pine/pine-4.63-r3.ebuild) 1127563295: === (1 of 16) Compiling/Merging (mail-client/pine-4.63-r3::/usr/portage/mail-client/pine/pine-4.63-r3.ebuild) 1127563517: === (1 of 16) Post-Build Cleaning (mail-client/pine-4.63-r3::/usr/portage/mail-client/pine/pine-4.63-r3.ebuild) 1127563519: >>> AUTOCLEAN: mail-client/pine 1127563524: === Unmerging...
