Hello!
i've still got some problems with the crypto on my external hard-drive.
the automatic powermanagement of my external Western Digital Desktop
Drive makes some problems in combination with bioctl i think, at least i
can't access the bioctl-device after the hd had been in sleep-mode...
(even if i wake it up before trying to access the bioctl-dev.)
but that's not really bad, because i just included a the
bioctl -cC -l /dev/sd2a -p passphrasefile softraid0 - command at the
beginning and the
bioctl -d sd3 at the end of my backup-scripts.
but, right now i'am in a state where i can't unmount my
backup-directory, i can't delete the bioctl-volume, and it will not
reattach after reattaching the usb-disk:
# umount /mnt/backup
umount: /mnt/backup: Input/output error
# umount -f /mnt/backup
umount: /mnt/backup: Input/output error
# bioctl -d sd3
bioctl: Can't open sd3: Device busy
# bioctl -cC -l/dev/sd2a -p /var/passphrase.key softraid0
bioctl: ioctl: Invalid argument
is it possible to force a volume deletion or unmount without rebooting?
greetings,
elias
PS: (i know, i shouldn't have unplugged the usb-disk while mounted, but
it "got stuck" because of the powermanagement of the disk again, and it
isn't in productive use, anyways...)
