Hello, we have very important server running CentOS 5.3 with incredible terabytes of valuable data stored in luks partition. Server was just ok, but one hdd died in RAID-5, so I had to reboot, and didn't mention this line in fstab: LABEL=SWAP-sdc1 swap swap defaults 0 0 /dev/sdc1 is our encrypted drive. after reboot 2gb of swap were added to /dev/sdc1 Sep 25 09:22:54 backup kernel: Adding 2097144k swap on /dev/sdc1. Priority:-1 extents:1 across:2097144k After removing swap from this drive I am totally unable to luksOpen partition, though I know password is 100% correct. cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sdc1 crypt2 Enter LUKS passphrase: Enter LUKS passphrase: Enter LUKS passphrase: Command failed: No key available with this passphrase. LUKS header is at the beginning of drive. cryptsetup isLuks /dev/sdc1 gives no error - so drive is luks encrypted and recognized as one, but still cannot be opened. cryptsetup luksDump /dev/sdc1 LUKS header information for /dev/sdc1 Version: 1 Cipher name: aes Cipher mode: cbc-essiv:sha256 Hash spec: sha1 Payload offset: 1032 MK bits: 128 MK digest: e0 0b 50 a0 00 42 ae 4a cd 71 cc ff 4b 8a b7 01 88 72 f7 23 MK salt: 19 d5 c1 d6 94 5c 8a ed c3 b4 70 3b a2 e2 a7 55 96 1d b2 e9 fd 06 59 f3 0e cd 42 a6 dd de cb ab MK iterations: 10 UUID: 9aafb98c-e64f-4837-aeb8-daafe401ff6f Key Slot 0: ENABLED Iterations: 167170 Salt: 91 cc f7 c3 65 03 1c 3a 78 fc d4 80 82 23 25 b4 eb 99 fc 2b e6 3f 4b b2 bd cb 47 3a 00 08 17 91 Key material offset: 8 AF stripes: 4000 Key Slot 1: DISABLED Key Slot 2: DISABLED Key Slot 3: DISABLED Key Slot 4: DISABLED Key Slot 5: DISABLED Key Slot 6: DISABLED Key Slot 7: DISABLED But i.e parted shows this: GNU Parted 1.8.1 Using /dev/sdc1 Welcome to GNU Parted!

Anyone knows how to fix this and remove this swap partition and fs from this partition? Sorry for my clumsy English, hope you got the main idea of the problem. -- ai. http://biwwy.com/ last.fm: littlewizard _______________________________________________ dm-crypt mailing list dm-crypt@xxxxxxxx http://www.saout.de/mailman/listinfo/dm-crypt
