mapper device disappears?

After reboot, my /dev/mapper/(device) is gone....
In order to re-initialize, cryptsetup wants to destroy
all data on the partition.
I sure wish the developer would take a weekend and write
a walk-through for this thing. The documentation _sucks_!

BTW - luksClose is for _removing_ a mapped device. Not the
best idea if you want to retain your encrypted data!!!
(No, that's the the problem I had, but it's worth mentioning).
