This is sadly a common problem with some installers, that has been brought up once or twice before on this list. Unless you have a backup of the LUKS-header your data is "cryptographically hard" (read: impossible) to recover (also read the dm-crypt FAQ regarding this kind of problem). If you do have a header backup, you should be able to replace the current header and except for some minor damage you might be able to gain access; this depends largely on how well LVM deals with the damage dealt by the new LVM created by the installer. If you decide to attempt rescue, make sure to do all operations on a backup copy, or your chances at recovery will be even slimmer. _______________________________________________ dm-crypt mailing list dm-crypt@xxxxxxxx http://www.saout.de/mailman/listinfo/dm-crypt
