greyday Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 (edited) After recovering from a bum drive, I need to pull data from old drives from my encrypted array. I may end up having to try UD, but considering my workflow and the server location, it would save me MANY hours to be able to copy the files through an Ubuntu workstation. Trouble is, while Ubuntu sees the drive, whenever I enter the encryption passphrase I get an "incorrect passphrase" error. My passphrase is long, but I know I entered it correctly (and just to be sure, I tried typing it out into a libre doc and copy/pasting it). Specific error reads: Unable to mount 3.0 TB Encrypted Error unlocking /dev/sdb1: Failed to activate device: Incorrect passphrase I've tried on two of the replaced drives from the array and neither worked. Any thoughts? Am I stuck having to use UD or is there a way to access them? I am comfortable using a different distro if Ubuntu is the problem... EDIT: Nevermind. I don't know how or why but I just tried again and it worked. It is possible I had typos in every previous attempt and that Ubuntu doesn't allow pasting for passwords, but either way it's working now... Edited March 12, 2021 by greyday Quote Link to comment
