Luks encrypted partition gets identified as ntfs
The title says a lot. I'm using lenny all of a sudden the partition where I keep my data which has been encrypted with luks gets identified by vol_id and blkid as ntfs rather than luks_cryptofs. While it was booting the fsck failed gave me a Ctrl+D to continue. It even mounts automatically as ntfs showing as empty but it's not ntfs and it is not empty. About 4 years of research I have in there so far got that gut feeling it's going up in smokes. Done all I could by no luck so looking for help. This is what happens: main hd where the partition is #vol_id /dev/sdc ID_FS_USAGE=crypto ID_FS_TYPE=crypto_LUKS ID_FS_VERSION=2 ID_FS_UUID=6c284b6d-90fc-4810-98a3-e312642abcca ID_FS_UUID_ENC=6c284b6d-90fc-4810-98a3-e312642abcca ID_FS_LABEL= ID_FS_LABEL_ENC= ID_FS_LABEL_SAFE= partition giving problems # vol_id /dev/sdc1 ID_FS_USAGE=filesystem ID_FS_TYPE=ntfs ID_FS_VERSION=3.1 ID_FS_UUID=0441104E2AD579AF ID_FS_UUID_ENC=0441104E2AD579AF ID_FS_LABEL= ID_FS_LABEL_ENC= ID_FS_LABEL_SAFE= Thank you. begin:vcard fn:Aron T n:T;Aron email;internet:n...@gmx.co.uk tel;work:+44 784 702 8914 version:2.1 end:vcard

Done all I could by no luck so looking for help. After you boot your system, try to mount the partition manually: First: cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sdc1 testluks If you get the passphrase question, give the passphrase and: ls -la /dev/mapper Do you see 'testluks' in there? smime.p7s Description: S/MIME Cryptographic Signature

I surely hope you have backups, either not encrypted or encrypted with something else (I use openssl).
