About a month or so I encrypted my 1TB drive.
I have a SSD that the OS, Fedora 17, is installed on, but I also have a HDD, this 1TB drive that I encrypted.
Everything was going fine. The 1TB wouldn't be mounted at boot time, but if I wanted to look at files on the 1TB drive, I'd go into the File Manager, click on the drive (I called it "Scorpio", because it's a WD Scorpio Blue), and the system would ask me for the password. I'd type that in, and then it would ask me for the Administrator password, to mount the drive.
Did it 50 times or so. Never any problem. Worked great.
And then, last week, I had a hardware problem on that PC. Some problem in the motherboard. The machine won't even boot up. But I'm confident that it had nothing to do with the 1TB drive.
So I installed Fedora 17 (exact same version, same DVD) on a second PC. That works fine too. But I wanted to get back my data on the encrypted drive. So I put it into an a small external USB 2 box.
I hooked that up to the second PC, and when I click on that drive it asks me for the password, just like in the past. I type that in, no problem. But then it tells me:
Error mounting /dev/dm-2 at /run/media/david/SCORPIO2: Command-line `mount -t "ext4" -o "uhelper=udisks2,nodev,nosuid" "/dev/dm-2" "/run/media/david/SCORPIO2"' exited with non-zero exit status 32: mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/mapper/luks-27b3c2eb-461b-43b4-8ae7-8cc7e89bd8e2,
missing codepage or helper program, or other error
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so
When I type "dmesg | tail", I see:
[39383.104029] EXT4-fs (dm-2): bad geometry: block count 244190134 exceeds size of device (244190133 blocks)
Anybody have an ideas ? I'd be more than 99% sure that there's no hardware issue with the drive. The drive is fine, I'm quite sure. The issue is configuration.
Thanks for any help anybody can suggest.
