Thanks for answering. My specific need is create a encrypted pendrive with Luks, to use with Tails and Ubuntu. As I said, I chose "yes" at the Greeter, putting the root (?) password. I created the encrypted pendrive easily at Disk Utilities, but I had no permission to open it. You wrote I must set an administration password at the Greeter (as I did) and open that folder (lost+found) as root, using a root terminal. How? Also, you said: "But if not using the lost+found folder doesn't prevent you from using your encrypted volume" What I understand by using my encrypted volume is saving files in it and open than at Tails and Ubuntu; what I can not do. How can I be the root user and open the "lost+found"? Best regards. Marcos Kehl (Brasil).
