Hi all, I have an encrypted file that was made on 4.7. Here are the steps I took.
1. Created around a 22G file zero'd out. # dd if=/dev/zero of=/path/encrypted_file bs=512 count=109113984 2. Created a salt file. # dd if=/dev/arandom of=/etc/salt/secure.salt count=1 3. Associated svnd1 with 'encrypted_file' (and entered my password). # vnconfig -v -c -K 1440 -S /etc/salt/secure.salt svnd1 /path/encrypted_file 4. Partitioned and formatted the virtual device with one 'a' partition. # fdisk -i svnd1 # disklabel -E svnd1 # newfs /dev/rsvnd1a However, I'm having trouble opening the 'encrypted_file' on 4.8. Here's the steps I'm taking. 1. Associated svnd1 with 'encrypted_file' (and entered my password). # vnconfig -v -c -K 1440 -S /etc/salt/secure.salt svnd1 /path/encrypted_file The following is a comparison between 4.7 and 4.8 fdisk svnd1. <OpenBSD 4.7> # fdisk svnd1 Disk: svnd1 geometry: 464230/1/100 [46423072 Sectors] Offset: 0 Signature: 0xAA55 Starting Ending LBA Info: #: id C H S - C H S [ start: size ] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 0: 00 0 0 0 - 0 0 0 [ 0: 0 ] unused 1: 00 0 0 0 - 0 0 0 [ 0: 0 ] unused 2: 00 0 0 0 - 0 0 0 [ 0: 0 ] unused *3: A6 1 0 29 - 464229 0 100 [ 128: 46422872 ] OpenBSD <OpenBSD 4.8> # fdisk svnd1 Starting Ending LBA Info: #: id C H S - C H S [ start: size ] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 0: EF 11848640 0 83 - 29058358 0 66 [ 1184864082: 1720971784 ] EFI Sys 1: 9C 32141118 0 39 - 29854738 0 95 [ 3214111838: 4066329353 ] <Unknown ID> 2: 3D 1033132 0 22 - 26888558 0 19 [ 103313221: 2585542598 ] <Unknown ID> 3: AC 39002669 0 86 - 16827162 0 4 [ 3900266985: 2077416515 ] <Unknown ID> The partitions are un-aligned. And I'm unable to mount the 'a' partition that I made in 4.7. Anyone have any ideas what the problem might be?? Thanks all for your time, Mike
