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.
