Trying to learn for future reference how to mount an encrypted partition in Knoppix 5.1 so I can rescue encrypted data.

# mount -t ext3 /dev/hdb5 /media/hdb5=

mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hdb5,
missing codepage or other error
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so

# dmesg | tail=

VFS: Can't find ext3 filesystem on dev hdb5

I know this partition is ext3 file system. Is there an extra step or different procedure for mounting an encrypted partition in Knoppix?
