    Mounting LLV encrypted disk via USB

    Hello all,
    I'm in the process of upgrading.
    I just installed the latest Kubuntu to a new disk. I've removed the old disk and put it in an external USB enclosure. Now I'm simply trying to mount it so I can copy my files over but the partition on it is encrypted (via the previous ubuntu installer). It's /dev/sdb. I tried the following:
    Code:
    $ sudo cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sdb secure
    $ sudo mount /dev/mapper/secure /mnt
    mount: special device /dev/mapper/secure does not exist
    Could it be that there's something wrong with my external USB adapter ?
    Code:
    $ dmesg

    OK, the Sata to USB adapter was bad. I used another one and it asked for the passwd and mounted without difficulty.
