Hi,
I am trying to use cryptosetup an a nslu2 device (arm architecture).
Debian (etch) and linux 2.6.15 is installed.
I can create an encrypted partition as usual:
echo "test" | cryptsetup -c aes luksFormat /dev/sdd2
But I can not open it:
echo "test" | cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sdd2 sdd2
This command replies with the following message:
"automatic header conversion from 0.99 to 0.991 triggered"
and then it just hangs. (CTRL-C can stop it)
I attached strace to the running process to see what happens: nothing.
I started luksOpen with strace again and the activity stops after these lines:
open("/proc/devices", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = 3
fstat64(3, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0444, st_size=0, ...}) = 0
mmap2(NULL, 4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) = 0x40016000
read(3, "Character devices:\n 1 mem\n 2 p"..., 1024) = 351
close(3) = 0
munmap(0x40016000, 4096) = 0
open("/proc/misc", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = 3
fstat64(3, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0444, st_size=0, ...}) = 0
mmap2(NULL, 4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) = 0x40016000
read(3, " 63 device-mapper\n 1 psaux\n130 "..., 1024) = 41
close(3) = 0
munmap(0x40016000, 4096) = 0
stat64("/dev/mapper/control", {st_mode=S_IFCHR|0660, st_rdev=makedev(10, 63), ...}) = 0
open("/dev/mapper/control", O_RDWR|O_LARGEFILE) = 3
ioctl(3, DM_DEV_REMOVE, 0x72080) = 0
close(3) = 0
stat64("/dev/mapper/temporary-cryptsetup-2516", {st_mode=S_IFBLK|0600, st_rdev=makedev(254, 0), ...}) = 0
unlink("/dev/mapper/temporary-cryptsetup-2516") = 0
dmesg reports no problems.
I also used the interactive way of providing the passphrase: same behaviour.
Does anyone have an idea, what could go wrong here?
thanks,
Lars
