It surely was a "doh!" question! While writing down all the UUIDs and
mapper devices, I messed up the mounting of older Fedora installation
(F9) and the newer one (F13). I was looking at F9's home while mounted
on a mountpoint meant for the newer one. Fixed the mount point and now I
get the following error when I try to mount F13's encrypted /home
partition from my other Linux OS:
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/mapper/vg1-lv9,
missing codepage or helper program, or other error
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so
Now I am looking for how to specify the encrypted partition in Debian's
fstab so that I can mount it from within Debian.
Regards.
