Re: cryptsetup + lvm on usb disk, unusable /dev/dm-* after suspend/resume cycle

[Nils Radtke <Nils.Radtke@Think-Future.de>]

  Hi Milan,

  Thank you for your explanation.

  So I'll try to find logs regarding this issue (won't be easy though..).

  On the other hand, the usb device survives suspend/resume normally, that is,
  when using a plain disk, std partition etc.

  Ok, I'm going for the logs and if found be back.

  Thank you again for your help.

# So instead of "cryptsetup luksClose" use dmsetup remove for crypt device too
# (There was a bug in some version of cryptsetup which failed close if underlying device

# Also see man page and "dmsetup remove -f" flag.
