Have you edited /etc/crypttab and /etc/fstab with appropriate entries? If you are not being prompted during a boot for the LUKS passphrase, the answers to the above questions are likely "No", which is why you cannot access /home. If on F7 or F8, then /etc/crypttab should contain a line similar to the following: # /home home /dev/sda7 none luks where in your situation, '/dev/sda7' is replaced by the proper device and partition number for your /home partition. Then in /etc/fstab, you should have a line similar to the following: /dev/mapper/home /home ext3 defaults 1 2 *AND* be sure to either remove or comment out the default line in /etc/fstab that typically looks like: LABEL=/home /home ext3 defaults 1 2 HTH, Marc Schwartz
