hello,

I've encrypted the /home partition. I've been successful in doing this by following the instructions here:

slackware64-current/README_CRYPT.TXT

But after upgrade to cryptsetup-1.2.0-x86_64, when I boot up I get 'no such file or directory while trying to open /dev/mapper/crypthome'

I have to manually type 'cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sda9 crypthome' and mount each time to get into the encrypted partition.
I expect to be prompted for the password on boot but I just get that error, what is wrong?

my config files:

/etc/crypttab:
crypthome /dev/sda9

/etc/fstab:
/dev/mapper/crypthome /home ext4 defaults 1 2
I expect to be prompted for the password on boot but I just get that error, what am I doing wrong?

thanks

You need to upgrade to the latest slackware-current, not just the cryptsetup package. Your issue has been fixed already:
Eric

I already upgraded to the latest slackware-current but without success. the issue is the same.
thanks for help.

Did you move /etc/rc.d/rc.S.new to /etc/rc.d/rc.S?

Hope this helps.
