Hi, what happens if an encrypted filesystem (plain, no LUKS) next time is opened accidently with a wrong password, and new data written to it? Will the filesystem then become damaged/unusable?
What typically happens when you use a wrong password is that the cryptsetup create/open command is indeed successful, but mounting your partition will fail (because the filesystem is not detected). So you have few chance to accidentally damage a filesystem, even in plain mode.
I didn't try this out, but I know the create/open command accepts any password for an already existing encrypted filesystem since no metadata is stored with such a "plain" volume, right?
Right, but this does not mean that data will look meaningful. Best, Quentin _______________________________________________ dm-crypt mailing list dm-crypt@xxxxxxxx http://www.saout.de/mailman/listinfo/dm-crypt
