Re: please HELP - can't acces encrypted LVM after linux reinstallation.

[Aleksander Swirski <aleksanderswirski@xxxxxxxxx>]

This was always decrypted data. I was making tar archives of system 
partitions, already decrypted and mounted. So I think, the header can't 
be there?

Yves, looking at your e-mail - maybe you can advice me weather and how should I send some info to debian team? I think some small warning or info could make a big difference for other people who might try to reattach their previously encrypted drive to a new debian install.

You said in the initial mail that you had some backup of the system but
they were a bit old. Are those backup of encrypted or decrypted data? Is
there a chance you may have the luks header somehwere in your backups?
