Recovering encrypted filesystems

tech

  1. Boot from Live CD / USB

  2. Decrypt the filesystem

<code class="markdown">cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sda5 <span class="emphasis">*hostname*</span>
</code>
  1. Mount filesystems
<code class="sql">mount /dev/dm-2 /mnt
mount /dev/dm-3 /mnt/home
mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/boot
mount <span class="comment">--bind /dev /mnt/dev</span>
mount <span class="comment">--bind /sys /mnt/sys</span>
mount <span class="comment">--bind /proc /mnt/proc</span>
</code>
  1. Enter chroot chroot /mnt

/etc/crypttab should have: sda5_crypt UUID=sda5_uuid
