Hey there, I managed to forget the passphrase for a server (it is very rarely rebooted). It it still running, the LUKS device is opened, and the filesystem laying on top of it is mounted. So, I do have a fresh backup, and can keep on trying to remember the passphrase with `cryptsetup luksAddKey /dev/mapper/foobar` However, it would be a lot of hasle to re-install the system entirely, as the services cannot suffer a long downtime. Is there a way to recover the passphrase or add a new keyslot while the system's running, the crypto device mounted, the fs opened? Or do I necessarily have to jump towards the "How do I recover the master key from a mapped LUKS container?" FAQ entry? Thanks in advance for your answer, -- mike dentifrice <fluor@xxxxxxxxxxx> _______________________________________________ dm-crypt mailing list dm-crypt@xxxxxxxx http://www.saout.de/mailman/listinfo/dm-crypt
