Re: luksAddKey successful but not working

I can build a new box without an encrypted volume, build the volume, and have the server ask for the password on boot. What is currently failing is reading the keyfile so that it doesn't ask for a password. What part of the program/process deals with that?

Thanks!

I have a support ticket with RH open now. So far I am not sure it is a bug. It may well just be my misunderstanding. If it does turn out to be a bug I will file it.

Thanks!

RHEL5 has very old cryptsetup (based on 1.0.3 version) and it is impossible
to rebase there to a new version.
You can create a bug requesting to fix this issue in RH bugzilla though...
