Hi, Let's forget about Lemote specific issues. For some reason I can't mount my partition when I'm using a USB stick. Here is what I did: 1. Booted from a USB stick; 2. Created a mapping: # cryptsetup -c aes-xts-plain -s 512 -y create main /dev/sda3 3. Created a filesystem: # mkfs.ext3 /dev/mapper/main 4. Mounted it: # mount -t ext3 /dev/mapper/main /media/parabola It worked fine. 5. Unmounted it: # umount /media/parabola 6. Detached the partition: # cryptsetup remove main Then I tried to use the same partition: # cryptsetup create main /dev/sda3 # mount -t ext3 /dev/mapper/main /media/parabola mount failed. "If the password is not correct, the mount command will fail. In this case simply remove the map sdc1 (cryptsetup remove sdc1) and create it again." [1] I'm sure that I was using the right password. What is the problem?
