You need cryptsetup -c aes-xts-plain -s 512 ... every time you map this device. You can sort of avoid it by using the defaults, which are listed at the end of cryptsetup --help However, if the defaults change, you need to remember those parameters. This is a big advantage to LUKS, there is a header that remembers everything but the password. > # mount -t ext3 /dev/mapper/main /media/parabola > > mount failed. > > "If the password is not correct, the mount command will fail.
