I am still having trouble access the data in my encrypted partition. I
found that the problem is about 17 bad blocks in the root directory.
This is a separate partition from home or the encrypted partition,
or the DOS partitions for that matter. I would like to do the following:
copy the secure partition to another drive, even a usb drive, without
mounting it.
mount the encrypted partition. I appears that this is a 2 step
process. One is setting up the loop device with losetup and mounting
the partition. I am not positive if I used aes or 2fish. Someone
suggested that I run YaST. The problem is YaST does not appear to exist
on the Suse 9.3 install disk in the Rescue mode.
Alternate idea: reinstall Suse 9.3 on the drive with all of my data,
just saying do not format any of the data partitions on the drive, just
the linux root partition. Hopefully reiserfs is smart enough to
recognize the bad blocks and avoid them.
Thoughts? Payroll data is on the encrypted partition and the natives
are getting restless. Today the eagle flies!
