If the other was properly posted to the list and there has been no activity on the list since Dec 21, you can just ignore this one. Thanks. I'm sorry Robert. I saw your message, but I didn't have any special advice for you. You can try to luksDump the partitions, but I suspected you already found that flag, also it doesn't give you much information. This will probably refuse the work telling you "foobar is not a LUKS partition". In this case try to "hexdump -C -n 1024 /dev/foobar". > ---------- Forwarded message ---------- > From: Robert Kelly <bluethegrappler@xxxxxxxxx> > Date: Dec 21, 2007 1:45 PM > Subject: LUKS partitons disappeared > To: dm-crypt@xxxxxxxx > > I recently used the gentoo live CD to migrate my data from reiserfs to ext3.
