[601377.447317] device-mapper: table: 254:2: crypt: Device lookup failed This is probably the problem - something is wrong with /dev/sdc2. Check if you can access that partition (old partition table? already used?). Also output of lsblk command could help. (device-mapper ioctl error reporting is limited, we can usually just guess what is wrong, so the userspace message is here perhaps misleading) Anyway, if reporting cryptsetup problems, please always post command output with added --debug switch. There is a lot of info that is required to analyse problems.
