Hi, I guess I already know the answer - but is there any way to recover a luks parition? Cryptsetup refuse to map the partition on luksOpen with "is not a LUKS partition". It's a logical volume which I accidentally removed. Via a metadata backup made before the "lvremove" command I recovered the lost logical volume. Although there were no other write operation on the physical disks it seems now that the first ~ 5000 bytes on this lv are now set to zero. Anyone has a clue if this is recoverable?
