Most probably this is a permissions problem. Mount the partition which you encrypted with cryptsetup and do a ls -ld /path/to/mountpoint there you will see the owner (probably root) and the permissions set for this mount point. If this is the case you may change the owner like this: sudo chown -R youruserid:youruserid /path/to/mountpoint HTH, Gregor -- -... --- .-. . -.. ..--.. ...-.-
