At this point, I'm stumped. If you want to use LUKS, FreeOTFE shouldn't really offer much in the way of options - there's nothing much for it *to* offer as everything's stored in the LUKS header! When trying to mount a LUKS volume, you should just the simplified LUKS password entry dialog; are you seeing the more complex "losetup" password entry dialog with tabs at the top? I've got a few other suggestions which may help, but need more information... Do you have multiple partitions on the USB drive; does FreeOTFE show the partition colored red when you try to mount it? Please could you post what luksDump gives you for the volume? Do you have any more success with the instructions at: http://www.freeotfe.org/docs/Linux_examples__LUKS.htm -- Sarah Dean FreeOTFE site: http://www.FreeOTFE.org/ Personal site: http://www.SDean12.org/ For information on SecureTrayUtil, Shredders, On-The-Fly Encryption (OTFE) systems, etc, see the URLs above. --------------------------------------------------------------------- dm-crypt mailing list - http://www.saout.de/misc/dm-crypt/ To unsubscribe, e-mail: dm-crypt-unsubscribe@xxxxxxxx For additional commands, e-mail: dm-crypt-help@xxxxxxxx
