I built the packages and installed them.
The attached file contains the generated stderr stream (which looks a bit
strange to me). Just to make shure, here is also the output generated from the
command without the redirection.
The stderr stream is fine. When you run it without redirection, bash
will helpfully mask the null characters that are printed (which is not
done when they are redirected to a file).
However, everything looks ok after studying that file, the first two
ioctl's are executed (i.e. the device-mapper version is checked and the
"root" mapping name is reserved).
Then when it is time to pass the actual parameters for the mapping using
the "reload" ioctl, everything goes south. I'm quickly running out of
ideas what might cause this or what the best way to debug it would be.
So I'm CC:ing this mail to some different people with the hope that
someone other than me can spot the error.
Quoting from previous mails:
[04:11:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/spjsschl]# cryptsetup -c aes -s 256 -d /dev/stdin
create root /dev/md0 < /key
Command failed: device-mapper: reload ioctl failed: Invalid argument
[04:12:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/spjsschl]# dmesg | tail -n 3
device-mapper: table: 253:2: crypt: Device lookup failed
device-mapper: ioctl: error adding target to table
device-mapper: ioctl: device doesn't appear to be in the dev hash table.
[22:28:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/tmp]# echo '0 10000 crypt aes-cbc-essiv:sha256 \
0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef 0 /dev/md0 0' > map
[22:28:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/tmp]# dmsetup create root map
device-mapper: reload ioctl failed: Invalid argument Command failed
Executive summary:
dmsetup / cryptsetup both fail to create a mapping on top of a raid
device (/dev/md0 in this case).
For much more details, see the bug report, any help appreciated:
