[SOLVED] Problems in creating LUKS partition in FD64 700 b2

#1 Post by laurentius77 »

Hello,

I tried to setup an encrypted partition on an usb drive today as follows:
dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/sda3

cryptsetup luksFormat /dev/sda3

But after confirming encryption passwordI got is this error:

fatdog64-a33 daemon.err kernel: udevd[3061]: conflicting device node '/dev/mapper/temporary-cryptsetup-2955' found, link to '/dev/dm-0' will not be created

Can anyone replicate this issue, please?

Any workaround in solving this?

I'm sorry for posting in the wrong place! I intended to post in the FD64-700b2. Please if a moderator can help me in moving this post...

Thanks!

Please update to latest util-linux package from repo (version 2.25). Version 2.24 the one in beta2 seems to have problem with dm devices.
