hi,

i have strange problems with luks since my last reboot of my Gentoo Linux (64 bit) box.

the md*-devices have strange names (for example md125 - before it was md3). the luks header of "md125" (raid 10 - 1,5 tb) is still there but i can´t open the luks-partition. The message is "No key available with this passphrase".

the filesystem off the encrypted luks partition is ext4.

I am absolutely sure that the passphrase is valid!

I hope someone have some suggestions for me. all my data is stored on this raid 10.

some debug output:

this is also strange, ... if i create the raid 0 with the other drives of the raid 1 with metadata 0.9 then one time i get 64k chunks and the other time 512k chunks. Luks header is still there but the valid passphrase is not accepted...

thanks in advance

Hi ts0,

Has your problem resolved? I encountered the same issue and now I could not load my data.
