Hi,

I have installed with success Qubes 3.2 on my Lenovo W520.
I ma bit by bit playing with it.
I would like to have access to my old encrypted hard drive, still do remember the passphrase :)
I have build a new vm, let's call it "vm-test" I have attached the block device to it, seems to be good ... But after ? How to mount it ??

Thx

It's probably mounted as /dev/xvdi (you can check with qvm-block).
So, in vm-test, try something like:

$ sudo cryptsetup open /dev/xvdi hdd
<enter passphrase>
$ sudo mount /dev/mapper/hdd /mnt/removable
$ cd /mnt/removable
$ ls
