I just didn't want to paste here the whole how-to :) I did it from http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-274651.html except that I don't use loop device but real partition [I hope that correct answer to your question is below in this mail]. > Yes it should.

Yes, I read that and I am in serious doubt about it - there seems to be some incompatibility - maybe minor, maybe just in some commandline parameter that it needs... > How do you sync a dd image? Synchronize data, not image... I used rsync on mounted dd image once, it shoud work again. Btw - crazy idea, don't take it serious - could diff&patch do something like this? :) > Why not first try to solve your "invalid argument" problem.

I found that I have cs-luks installed. And than I typed commands faster than I was able think :) Unmerged cryptsetup-luks, emerged cryptsetup and the error was gone. > 2) recreate the mapping with cs-luks. I think that pam_mount recreates the mapping. I did never do it manually. I only added one line to pam_mount.conf and with old cryptsetup everything worked fine. This line: volume whiteraven crypt - /dev/sda6 /home/whiteraven loop,cipher=aes aes-256-ecb /home/whiteraven.key It doesn't work with cryptsetup-luks - I can see the same error when I try to log in from console.
