Luks encrypted external HDD will open, but not mount - any suggestions?
by duupunisher2x from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5790K)
Debian/buster - 2TB HDD
Using a docking station, I opened and mounted my luks encrypted HDD without a problem.
Then I umounted and closed it. Ten minutes later I went to open and mount it again, it would not mount. I tried 12 times and using a different docking station, but no luck.
My other encrypted external hdd opens and mounts using same OS, docking station, etc.
Any ideas on how to try to get it to mount?
I ran the following 17 hour test:
Code:"sudo badblocks -v /dev/sdx > /tmp/bad-blocks.txt"The test came back with "0/0/0 errors".
Thx.
