Hi all! It's my first mail here, but I've googled a lot before posting... :) My problem is - as you can read - with key.file managing. # dmsetup version Library version: 1.02.20 (2007-06-15) Driver version: 4.11.0 kernel: 2.6.22-14 on ubuntu 8.04 I've used till now dm-crypt with another partition typing the password at boot; it's perfectly! Now I'd like to encrypt another one and mount it only if the first crypto-device is mounted. So I've created it, ad added the key.file in a directory of the first encrypted device, but... It doesn't work! I've checked: - hashalot with rmd160compat. ripemd160, rmd160 of my password with 32 bytes is the same output I get from: - dmsetup table --showkeys new_partition But if I put this output in the key.file (with a new line at the end of it), during the partition mapping something goes wrong, so I receive always a "wrong fs type" during mount operation of mapped device (but it works perfectly if I put the password by hand). Moreover: - cryptsetup status new_partition says it's normally active, also if it's not "mount ready"! Can You help me? Thanks! Cheers... --- Salud! Pierino, la peste.
