Cryptsetup / aes crypted partition no longer working

[cudeso]

Hi,

After the recent upgrade to Ubuntu 8 I'm unable to mount my encrypted home partition. One partition, /dev/sda3, is encrypted with this setup:

/dev/mapper/cryptohome is active:
cipher: aes-cbc-plain
keysize: 256 bits
device: /dev/sda3
offset: 0 sectors
size: 40949685 sectors
mode: read/write

When I try to start /etc/init.d/cryptdisks I get this

* Starting remaining crypto disks...
mount: special device /dev/mapper/cryptohome does not exist
Enter passphrase:
After this it's impossible to mount /home on /dev/mapper/cryptohome.

Does anyone has a clue how I can solve this? thanks!!

Looking at syslog messages returned this:


kernel: [52803.864305] VFS: Can't find ext3 filesystem on dev dm-0.

when doing a mount of /dev/mapper/cryptohome on /home

It might indicate a broken filesystem but this seems highly unlikely, the system was running fine for several days before the reboot for the upgrade.

SOLVED
Problem was due to a keyboard layout change (side-result of the upgrade) that did not contain the special characters in my passphrase.
