Hi, i have an encrypted partition on an extern harddisk. Opening and mounting after booting from my main computer does not show any problems at all. After booting with sysresccd (customized with cryptsetup 1.0.5, same version as on my main computer), I tried to open the partition: cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sdd1 enc Enter LUKS passphrase: xxxxxxx device-mapper: table: device /dev/sdd1 too small for target device-mapper: table: 253:0:crypt:Device lookup failed device-mapper: ioctl: error adding target to table device-mapper: ioctl: device doesnt appear to be in the dev hash table Enter LUKS passphrase: And so on and so on.... It's no problem at all to open and mount the partition from my main machine, and the external harddisk in which the mentioned partition resides is fully operational and 100% ok. Have absolutely no clue what's the cause for this. Can anybody her give me a hint where to look?
