Thank you in advance for your time. We are currently using dmcrypt to store data for some financial and medical information. Recently, the administrator maintaining the drives has left the company, and we are unable to reach him. The host OS has crashed, and while we have successfully installed a new linux OS, we are unable to mount the drives. Our experience with linux is somewhat limited, so this may be a simple oversight, or it may be something just impossible - but is it at all feasible to retrieve the data from these drives on our new OS (knowing the passwords, of course). I've installed the requisite packages, but when I attempt to `cryptsetup create name /dev/device` I get the error "Command failed: Invalid argument". I'm running cryptsetup-0.1, device-mapper-1.02.08, libgcrypt-1.2.2, and libgpg-error-1.3. Other than the host OS drive and some memory, the hardware is identical, so I'm running the kernel configuration that was used before (and I've checked for requirements just to be sure). Please tell me I'm not at a complete loss here. Again, thank you for bearing with me and for your time. James
