Re: cannot mount encrypted filesystem

Looks like the dm-crypt part is working as expected, so basically it's not a dmcrypt issue but a filesystem issue (ext3). I suggest to copy your partition to a save location and then try fsck.ext3 /dev/mapper/tomb0 (but i'm afraid you will suffer data loss, always make backups!)

My linux desktop wedged this morning with an I/O error. I forced a reboot and now cannot mount one of my two encrypted filesystems:

losetup /dev/loop1 /tomb1
cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/loop1 tomb1
(password dialog)
mount /dev/mapper/tomb1 /home/tomb1

works as expected and shows:

mount
/dev/mapper/tomb1 on /home/tomb1 type jfs (rw)


losetup /dev/loop0 /tomb0
cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/loop0 tomb0
(password dialog)
mount /dev/mapper/tomb0 /home/tomb0
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/mapper/tomb0,
       missing codepage or other error

cryptsetup status tomb0
/dev/mapper/tomb0 is active:
  cipher:  aes-cbc-essiv:sha256
  keysize: 128 bits
  device:  /dev/loop0
  offset:  1032 sectors
  size:    8387576 sectors
  mode:    read/write

How fragile are these filesystems? Is that data now gone?

Thanks
