Can not encrypt partition

Hello.

I'm trying to set up an encrypted system and followed an entry in the german arch user wiki.

I have partitioned my harddisk in 4 partitions, but sadly got an failure with the first command

When i enter

cryptsetup luksFormat /dev/sda3 cipher aes-cbc-essiv:sha256 verify-passphrase --key-size 256

i get this message

cryptsetup: Unknown action.

I'm able to tab cryptsetup so it should be on my install disc.

Does anyone know how i could solve this problem?

Thanks in advance

The -- were missing. Please edit the wiki entry.
