All I did to get the "Can't open device" error is to type:
cryptsetup luksAddKey [anything here like /media/sda1] keyfile
into the root command console. That's it, nothing weird.
I guess, /media/??? is a mountpoint and /dev/hd?? is a block
device - is that valid for you, too?
I'm as confused as anyone here. We don't know how your system is
configured, what the path to your keyfile is, where your drives are
mounted and so on. You really should read the man page for cryptsetup
and understand what is going on.
<QUOTE>
luksAddKey <device> [<new key file>]
add a new key file/passphrase. An existing passphrase
or key file (via --key-file) must be supplied. The key file with the new
material is supplied as after luksAddKey as positional argument.
<options> can be [--key-file].
</QUOTE>
The command is
cryptsetup luksAddKey <device for encrypted system> <path to keyfile>
if I understand what you've said that should be:
cryptsetup luksAddKey /dev/hda3 /media/sda1/keyfile.home
It then should prompt you for an already existing passphrase for the
/home drive and add the key in keyfile.home to that drive.
