Cannot boot up server after encrypting the SAN filesystem attached.
Issue
-
Trying to set encryption using cryptsetup on a PowerPath device created from a 600GB LUN.
-
The mapping has been added to /etc/crypttab as following :
data /dev/emcpowera1 none LUKS -
The disk can be successfully mounted using the luksOpen command and can also be mounted when the system is up and running.
-
When the machine is rebooted it fails to mount the encrypted file system and complains about a superblock problem.
