cryptsetup luksAddKey == Can't open device:

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

I've setup an encrypted home & swap on my MEPIS/ubuntu system.
Following, basically, the instructions here:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedFilesystemHowto3

It works fine as long as I type in a password at boot.  I'm trying to
use a keyfile on a USB flash drive.

Every time I try to enter:

# cryptsetup luksAddKey [anything here like /media/sda1] keyfile

I always get:

Can't open device: /media/sda1 (or whatever)

Same error regardless of device; /dev/hda1, /home, etc.

Any suggestions?
