Why do you want to use dmsetup? Anyway, cryptsetup -d /key -c aes-cbc-essiv:sha256 -s 256 create x /dev/sdb is equivalent to echo 0 $(blockdev --getsz /dev/sdb) crypt aes-cbc-essiv:sha256 $(xxd -p -c 32 </key) 0 /dev/sdb 0 | dmsetup create x (xxd is helper program in vim package) I guess the hex representation is just wrong in your case, hexdump produces different order of bytes. Use cryptsetup a check with "dmsetup table --showkeys". Milan _______________________________________________ dm-crypt mailing list dm-crypt@xxxxxxxx http://www.saout.de/mailman/listinfo/dm-crypt
