I have several external backup disks encrypted before Luks appeared. After
update from 12.1 to 12.3, losetup is gone and I haven't been able to mount the encrypted disks. linux-p22i /root# uname -r 3.7.10-1.16-desktop linux-p22i /root# lsmod | grep crypt cryptoloop 12715 0 loop 27944 1 cryptoloop dm_crypt 22845 2 dm_mod 92315 4 dm_crypt linux-p22i /root# lsblk -f -l /dev/sdi1 NAME FSTYPE LABEL UUID MOUNTPOINT sdi1 ***/dev/sdi1 was previously under 12.1 mounted using losetup*** ***Because the partition isn't a Luks partition, I can't*** linux-p22i /root# cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sdi1 back5 Device /dev/sdi1 is not a valid LUKS device. So I try a 'legacy' approach per the cryptosetup wiki: linux-p22i /root# cryptsetup create back5 /dev/sdi1 Enter passphrase: (which I did; just got newline) linux-p22i /root# cryptsetup status back5 /dev/mapper/back5 is active. type: PLAIN cipher: aes-cbc-essiv:sha256 keysize: 256 bits device: /dev/sdi1 offset: 0 sectors size: 976768002 sectors mode: read/write ***which seems correct to me*** linux-p22i /root# l /dev/mapper/ back5@ cr_ata-WDC_WD1002FAEX-00Z3A0_WD-WCATRC268610-part1@ control% main@ Now. How do I or what do I mount? I can't use /dev/mapper directly. I have no success trying to mkfs /dev/back5. This must be a common problem but I don't find it addressed in the opensuse forums. Help! jim bennett |
