[pkg-cryptsetup-devel] Bug#538221: cryptsetup: Command failed: device-mapper: create ioctl failed: Device or resource busy

[Stuart Pook]

Package: cryptsetup
Version: 2:1.0.7~rc1-2
Severity: important

Crytsetup 2:1.0.7~rc1-2 often fails to open my devices. Sometimes it works but I'm not exactly sure under
what conditions. Downgrading to 2:1.0.6+20090405.svn49-1 from testing works.

: root; cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/mapper/vg0-services_var services_var --key-file /tmp/xx
key slot 1 unlocked.
Command failed: device-mapper: create ioctl failed: Device or resource busy
: root; apt-get -t testing install cryptsetup/testing
