I've used GELI encrypted partition on my notebook for 5 month but now I can't mount it on startup... it seems that I forgot the password (but how is it possible if I enter it each time I switch my notebook?!) or something is wrong with GELI anyway when I created that partition I also created "backup key" file as it was suggested by the manual... Now I've tried to mount the partition with that key but it keeps telling me that the password is wrong. %( Is it possible to recover the bloody thing with that "backup key"?! Your help would be much appreciated! Alex
