help needed with encrypted xfs partition

[holm.K]

hello,

after kernel panic I got stuck with encrypted xfs partition

i have my hexadecimal encryption key written & know the root password

I already have a clean install. can I mount and copy some files from old filesystem?

i tried to google it, but I cant figure out how and when to use the key

anything will help, even link to a man page I must have missed

thank you!

What did you find from your Google search?

even link to a man page I must have missed

I have no idea what you have NOT missed to be able to guess what you DID miss. What have you looked at so far?

The command man cryptsetup is a readable starting point if the partition was encrypted using a Linux system.

Just 'encrypted' tells only part of the story, there's 'plain' and 'LUKS' in Linux, for example, and other similar-but-different systems under Windows.
