Yes it should. From the LUKS homepage: "LUKS for dm-crypt is implemented in cryptsetup. cryptsetup-luks is intended as a complete replacement for the original cryptsetup. It provides all the functionally of the original version plus all LUKS features, that are accessable by luks* action." > I have an (recent - about 7 days old) unencrypted dd image of original > partition on other harddrive. > > So, should I do this? > > - "synchronize" data from encrypted patrition with backup How do you sync a dd image? > - forget about old cryptsetup and try to revert all changes to state > before any encryption experiments > - start all over with cryptsetup-luks > > I am getting to by little confused about how this cryptosetup stuff > works :) And this seems to me now as the easiest way... Why not first try to solve your "invalid argument" problem. So please post the exact cryptsetup commands you used to 1) initially setup the encrypted partition and 2) recreate the mapping with cs-luks. Bye...
