cryptsetup luksOpen

[Werewolf6851]

greetings by the way.

System, Raspberry Pi B version Version B
uname -a
Linux raspberrypi 3.2.27+ #250 PREEMPT Thu Oct 18 19:03:02 BST 2012 armv6l GNU/Linux

using cryptsetup to open my archive
"sudo cryptsetup status archive"
/dev/mapper/archive is active and is in use.
type: LUKS1
cipher: aes-cbc-essiv:sha256
keysize: 128 bits
device: /dev/sda1
offset: 1032 sectors
size: 3906960376 sectors
mode: read/write

But but when I mount it
"mkdir /dev/shm/archive"
"chmod a+w /dev/shm/archive"
"sudo mount -o uid=1000,gid=1000 /dev/mapper/archive /dev/shm/archive/"
but got reply
mount: warning: /dev/shm/archive/ seems to be mounted read-only.
So I tried
"sudo mount -o remount,rw /dev/mapper/archive"
and get
mount: warning: /run/shm/archive seems to be mounted read-only.

So any clue what I'm missing to be able to write to my cryptsetup volume?
Also tried making mount point in home directory instead, with same results

P.S. I use /dev/shm/ for mount points or files want to disappear at shutdown

What's the filesystem of your LUKS volume?

If it's NTFS for some reason (maybe accessing under Windows) then make sure you are mounting it with the ntfs-3g driver and not the Linux kernel's ntfs driver (which doesn't have full write support)

Thanks!
That solved the issue. Have two external hard drives used between Linux and Win computers. And needed common file system for files bigger than 4 gig.

Old thread, but sorta pertains.

Which file system uses more overhead/resources? ntfs-3g or btrfs?

thanks wolf.
