Hello all, I am using dm-crypt and LVM to setup both an ext3 and a swap device. Everything seems to work fine, except when I shut down, I get this error: stopping disk encryption: [FAILED] how do I go about solving it? here are the steps I went through to get my drives up and running: -------------------------- Centos 5.0 dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/sdc cryptsetup --verbose --verify-passphrase luksFormat /dev/sdb cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sdb sdb {now you have a drive in /dev/mapper/sdb} pvcreate /dev/mapper/sdb vgcreate vg /dev/mapper/sdb lvcreate -L 1500m -n lvdata vg lvcreate -L 500m -n lvswap vg mkfs.ext3 /dev/vg/lvdata mkswap /dev/vg/lvswap vi /etc/crypttab sdb /dev/sdb none verify loud luks,retry=5 vi /etc/fstab /dev/vg/lvdata /data ext3 defaults 1 3 thanks!!!
