Hello,

I'm having some problem with dm-crypt. I had an encrypted container with some really valuable information, to which I had accessed before. But now, although it accepts my password, when I open it I only get a lost+found directory. What does this mean and how could I solve it?

Thanks.

It seems you mkfs-ed over it. If it opens cleanly, then this is very likely not a cryptsetup problem...

What have you done in filesystem creation and partitioning to cause this?

Regards,
Arno
