Todd,
let's keep it simple, get it right and work, then you can take off from
there. So do this:
vi /etc/fstab:
/dev/mapper/lin-bak /mnt ext4 defaults 0 0
Hi Tam,
I have tried this. With and without the first
parameter set to allow dump, which I do need.
vi /etc/crypttab:
lin-bak /dev/sdb1
I have tried this. At boot I get "mount: special device
/dev/mapper/lin-bak does not exist"
mount -a
without /dev/mapper/lin-bak, it won't mount.
reboot
/dev/mapper/lin-bak disappears
Then we'll go from there.

You know what I have not tried, removing the
dash from lin-bak in crypttab
Makes no difference.

I am mounting now by using rc.local:
# if I can not get /etc/crypttab to work, this will populate
# /dev/mapper with lin-bak and mount /lin-bak
if [ ! -L /dev/mapper/lin-bak ]; then
cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sdb1 lin-bak < /etc/crypttab.lin-bak.key
if [ -L /dev/mapper/lin-bak ] && [ -n $(mount -l | grep -i lin-bak)
]; then
mount /lin-bak
fi
fi
I suppose I don't need the
[ -n $(mount -l | grep -i lin-bak) ]
But, I was pleased with my coding, so I left it in.
