What were you trying that many time (you mentioned disc encryption, root and main user). If you're trying to login, there could be throttling to counter brute force attacks. If you're trying decryption, it could simply be the time to try decrypting it and checking if it worked. i.e. It's the probably the response time, rather than the attempts. -- uname -rsvp Linux 3.10.0-1160.6.1.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Nov 17 13:59:11 UTC 2020 x86_64 Boilerplate: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
