Thread: Cryptsetup with Luks seems to fail to unlock


situation:
reinstalled ubuntu , when try mount old disks after using cryptsetup luksopen i'm uname mount devices.
did rearrange disks inside of computer after reinstallation, added new disks etc, shouldnt effect crypto , lvm allready on it.
lvm partitions marked active aswell.

cryptsetup version 1.1.0-rc2, tried 1.0.6 ubuntu 9.10 cd aswell.

physical disk -> lvm2 group -> lvm2 partition -> crypto using luks

try unlock using:

code:
# cryptsetup luksopen /dev/mapper/group1-media media  enter passphrase /dev/mapper/group1-media:   key slot 0 unlocked.  root@starshine:/# mount /dev/mapper/media /mnt/  mount: must specify filesystem type
dmesg , /var/log/messages comes nothing, nor --verbose argument cryptsetup.

scan testdisk on drive finds no valid partitions, , i'm have not overwritten during reinstallation, i'm when doing changes disks due (for me) valuable information on it.

ideas appreciated, , no, not have backup

kind regards,
ilon sjögren

forgot, here's fdisk -l /dev/mapper/media:
code:
fdisk -l /dev/mapper/media     disk /dev/mapper/media: 1160.1 gb, 1160059547648 bytes  255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 141035 cylinders  units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes  sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes  i/o size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes  disk identifier: 0xf960c21c    disk /dev/mapper/media doesn't contain valid partition table
