Hi, I seem to have corrupted the luks header of my encrypted partition, such that it's not recognized as a valid luks device. I'm not sure exactly how, but I think an erroneous grub-install managed to write something to the device.... my grub got broken somehow by a kernel upgrade, and I booted to a rescue disk and did a manual grub-install... I wasn't really sure what I was doing, so there was some trial and error involved, but I can't imagine how anything I did could have caused grub-install to write anything to /dev/sda6 (my crypt partition), yet that's what seems to have happened: grepping through the beginning of /dev/sda6, I see the string "GRUB ^@Geom^@Hard Disk^@Read^@ Error^"..... I also see "cbc-essiv:sha256", so I know there's at least some luks-related stuff in there... Is there any way to try to recover a corrupted luks header? If not, does anyone have any ideas of what my options are as far as getting my data back? -- Kevin Bowen kevin@xxxxxxxx --------------------------------------------------------------------- dm-crypt mailing list - http://www.saout.de/misc/dm-crypt/ To unsubscribe, e-mail: dm-crypt-unsubscribe@xxxxxxxx For additional commands, e-mail: dm-crypt-help@xxxxxxxx
