Hi Hannes, in the documents I keep. I found that I had encrypted /dev/sda2. The procedure I recorded was: umount /dev/sda2 cryptsetup luksFormat /dev/sda2 cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sda2 tresor mkfs.ext3 /dev/mapper/tresor mount /dev/mapper/tresor /tresor What will happen if I repeat the steps ? Should I just leave the mkfs.ext3 out ? Would I be able to access my old data again ? What does lufsFormat really do ? Format the partition ? As I staded the data is pretty valuable to me. thanks for your help.
