Hello Jonas,

Thank you for your reply.

Yes, I'm still being hit by this problem at every boot when trying to
mount my 3 encrypted partitions.

After I enter my passphrase, I've got the following error message:

Cannot read requested amount of data.
device-mapper: rename ioctl failed: No such device or address
Command failed

After a number of unsuccessful attempts I am being dropped into a shell
where I can launch the following cryptsetup command:

cryptsetup -c aes --key-file=- create home /dev/sda9 (for my home
partition, same thing for the 2 others)

After that everything just works fine.

Here is my crypttab:
# <target name> <source device>         <key file>      <options>
tmp     /dev/sda5       none
cipher=aes-cbc-plain,precheck=none,hash=plain,size=256
home    /dev/sda9       none
cipher=aes-cbc-plain,precheck=none,hash=plain,size=256
data    /dev/sda10      none
cipher=aes-cbc-plain,precheck=none,hash=plain,size=256

And here is my fstab:
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# <file system> <mount point>   <type>  <options>       <dump>  <pass>
proc            /proc           proc    defaults        0       0
/dev/sda2       /               xfs     defaults        0       1
/dev/sda3       /boot           ext3    defaults        0       2
/dev/mapper/tmp /tmp            xfs     defaults 0      2
/dev/mapper/data /data           xfs    defaults 0      2 
/dev/mapper/home /home           xfs    defaults 0      2 
/dev/sda6       /usr            xfs     defaults 0      2 
/dev/sda8       /usr/local      xfs     defaults 0      2 
/dev/sda7       /var            xfs     defaults 0 2 
/dev/sda1       none            swap    sw 0 0 
/dev/scd0       /media/cdrom0   udf,iso9660 user,noauto 0       0

And I am using a vanilla 2.6.38.4 kernel (I upgraded at some point
thinking it might be a kernel problem. When the problem started I was
using a 2.6.37 kernel).

What else would be helpful to debug this?

Thanks for your help. :)

Best regards,

Chris
