You are answering just about every question I can think of _except_
the really important ones in your case; that is, the ones that pertain
to actually _mounting_ the file system:
* Exactly how are you creating a file system on ("formatting") the
device? Show us the command(s) and output, ideally in debug or
verbose mode (for mke2fs, that's -v). Also, for completeness, show
us how they relate to the luksCreate, luksOpen and dmsetup info.
You may want to throw in a luksDump (on the raw device) too, for
good measure.
* How are you mounting the file system? Show us the command(s) and
the output if any.
* How do you conclude that the mount command succeeds but the file
system isn't being mounted? Show us the command(s), the output if
relevant, the relevant portion of the kernel logs and what you are
doing to conclude that the file system _isn't_ being mounted.
If relevant, you may also want to show us the relevant portions of
your /etc/crypttab (or similar; the name might differ based on
distribution). It's possible that /proc/mounts (after you have tried
to mount the file system) could be of interest as well. Sharing those
should be safe because (at least on Debian, as far as crypttab goes)
they do not generally by themselves contain any sensitive information.
