'Encrypting external disks' http://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq14.html#softraidCrypto
Followed the FAQ instructions EXACTLY to encrypt an external drive, then copied data to it and after restarting the computer again.. I cannot access the drive, infact it doesn't look like anything is even on it. This has happened whilst following this tutorial on two different systems, using two different hard disks.. Are the FAQ instructions wrong? Thanks # Find the drive out $ dmesg | grep '^[sw]d' # Check the available partition on it $ fdisk wd1 Disk: wd1 geometry: 14593/255/63 [234441648 Sectors] Offset: 0 Signature: 0x0 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: 00 0 0 0 - 0 0 0 [ 0: 0 ] unused # disklabel wd1 # /dev/rwd1c: type: ESDI disk: ESDI/IDE disk label: KINGSTON SV300S3 duid: 0000000000000000 flags: bytes/sector: 512 sectors/track: 63 tracks/cylinder: 255 sectors/cylinder: 16065 cylinders: 14593 total sectors: 234441648 boundstart: 0 boundend: 234441648 drivedata: 0 16 partitions: # size offset fstype [fsize bsize cpg] c: 234441648 0 unused # #################################
