So do this: vi /etc/fstab: /dev/mapper/lin-bak /mnt ext4 defaults 0 0 Hi Tam, I have tried this. With and without the first parameter set to allow dump, which I do need. vi /etc/crypttab: lin-bak /dev/sdb1 I have tried this. At boot I get "mount: special device /dev/mapper/lin-bak does not exist" mount -a without /dev/mapper/lin-bak, it won't mount. reboot /dev/mapper/lin-bak disappears Then we'll go from there. -Tam You know what I have not tried, removing the dash from lin-bak in crypttab Makes no difference. -T I am mounting now by using rc.local: # if I can not get /etc/crypttab to work, this will populate # /dev/mapper with lin-bak and mount /lin-bak if [ ! -L /dev/mapper/lin-bak ]; then cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sdb1 lin-bak < /etc/crypttab.lin-bak.key if [ -L /dev/mapper/lin-bak ] && [ -n $(mount -l | grep -i lin-bak) ]; then mount /lin-bak fi fi I suppose I don't need the [ -n $(mount -l | grep -i lin-bak) ] But, I was pleased with my coding, so I left it in. -T

Red Hat is going to get a few bug reports out of this in the next few days! -T
