Hello all,

I try to use cryptsetup but I am blocked to the first step
I try :

cryptsetup -y luksFormat /dev/hdc1

WARNING!
========
This will overwrite data on /dev/hdb2 irrevocably.

Are you sure? (Type uppercase yes):
Command failed.

The modules dm-crypt and aes-i586 are loaded.
My partition is not mounted.
Anyone have an idea?

Thanks
