dm-crypt hanging on attempts to manipulate an encrypted device

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I have a 1TB USB disk that I use for backups and has recently hit a snag.  The encrypted device was working fine, but it now is failing on a weird way: after plugging it in yesterday and doing a luksOpen, the "automatic header conversion from 0.99 to 0.991 triggered" message appeared. After that, every single attempt at opening the device or add keys hangs after the key is entered. This is a device that was in use all the time and was working until I unplugged it (for safety) for some changes to my raid setup. 

I've now removed the hard drive from its enclosure and put it directly on the server, made an image and I am testing now using a loop device and the image. Here's the interesting bits:

# cryptsetup luksDump /dev/loop1

Key Slot 2: DISABLED

Doing an strace of cryptsetup luksOpen:
open("/proc/misc", O_RDONLY)            = 3
fstat(3, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0444, st_size=0, ...}) = 0
mmap(NULL, 4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) = 0x2aea59b33000
read(3, " 61 autofs\n200 tun\n220 mptctl\n 6"..., 4096) = 86
close(3)                                = 0
munmap(0x2aea59b33000, 4096)            = 0
stat("/dev/mapper/control", {st_mode=S_IFCHR|0600, st_rdev=makedev(10, 62), ...}) = 0
open("/dev/mapper/control", O_RDWR)     = 3
ioctl(3, DM_DEV_REMOVE, 0x6ecdd70)      = 0
close(3)                                = 0
stat("/dev/mapper/temporary-cryptsetup-29295", {st_mode=S_IFBLK|0660, st_rdev=makedev(253, 0), ...}) = 0
unlink("/dev/mapper/temporary-cryptsetup-29295") = 0

And it hangs there forever, using a whole core for something (that I have been unable to find yet). Same for AddKey. 

This is on Centos 5.4 64 bit, cryptsetup-luks-1.0.3-5.el5 (and no custom packages; all from the original repository).

Sadly, I dont have backups of the luks header that I can restore. Any ideas on how to open the device? I am certain both keys are valid (the one in slot 1 is a file I used for scripted mounts of the device and the one in slot 0 is a passphrase that I already tried copy-pasting to avoid any typos and keymap issues).
