After formatting under 12.04, I didn't try to use the disk under 14.04 in a plain ext* format... While running 12.04 I ran 'cryptsetup luksFormat', which ran successfully, I wrote a couple of files and read them. Then back in 14.04, similar to before, couldn't read the disk. I could mount it, but dmesg had the same msg as before which looked like a hardware issue: [ 891.562667] end_request: critical target error, dev sdb, sector 0 [ 891.564060] end_request: critical target error, dev sdb, sector 97525840 [ 891.564075] Aborting journal on device dm-2-8. [ 898.397620] EXT4-fs error (device dm-2): ext4_journal_check_start:56: Detected aborted journal [ 898.397628] EXT4-fs (dm-2): Remounting filesystem read-only
