Talk:SECURITY dmcrypt

From Gentoo Linux Wiki

hey, out there! having some trouble with cryptsetup... tells me "Command failed, invalid argument".. Seems that device-mapper is responsible for that. (look here) Maybe anyone could update this guide to use device-mapper < 1.01.03 ? (gentoo hardened 2.6.14, x86)

   No, "cryptsetup remove mycrypt" just deletes the the mapped device in /dev/mapper, it doesn't touch the data 
   in the file/partition itself. 
   In a since it is closing and relocking the door that you opened when you did the "cryptsetup create ..." command
