Hi Tam,
With both quotes and backslashes, I get "key file missing". So
I switched to a keyfile.
Now I get: special device /dev/mapper/lin-bak does not exist.
I can create /dev/mapper/lin-bak with
cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sdb1 lin-bak
but /dev/mapper/lin-bak disappears after I reboot.
Any ideas what I am doing wrong?
