Hopefully the wisdom of list users will fix my problems....
Problem one:
I installed 10.3 on my Acer Ferrari Saturday, after backing up /home to some external hard drives. Those hard drives are encrypted using YaST's partitioner (under 10.2, using loop-crypt) and via command line (losetup -e twofish256). When I try and mount them under 10.3 using the YaST partitioner, they are never mounted. I have tried mounting them manually from the command line, but they never mount. The twofish256 option doesn't work (ioctl: LOOP_SET_STATUS: Invalid argument), so I tried twofish, but the drives still never mount.
As it stands now, the entire backup of my e-mail and documents are sitting on some drives which are unreadable unless I revert to 10.2 on one of the other machines.
Problem two:
In the process of troubleshooting problem one, I decided to wipe out of the of the drives and encrypt it via the new method (LuKS). I set the options to not mount at startup and to be mountable by user, and mount by device name. I can't mount that drive either. It appears that every time I shut the laptop down the mapper device disappears, forcing me to re-create it each time. After doing this, the drive will mount, but I am never asked for the password.
Has anyone run into these problems? How did you resolve them?
Thanks in advance.
