I've been trying and trying to add a new key to one of my devices so that I can automount, but it consistently fails. I run the following command. It hangs for ~85 minutes every time (I've tried at least 5 times) and then fails with the "Not compatible PBKDF2 options" message and exit code 1. $ sudo cryptsetup luksAddKey /dev/md1 /etc/.md1.key Enter any existing passphrase: Not compatible PBKDF2 options (using hash algorithm sha256). I've tried generating several different keys of different sizes. Exact same behavior for all of them. dd bs=512 count=4 if=/dev/urandom of=/etc/.md1.key iflag=fullblock dd bs=1 count=32 if=/dev/urandom of=/etc/.md1.key iflag=fullblock dd bs=8192KB count=1 if=/dev/urandom of=/etc/.md1.key iflag=fullblock head -c 2880 /dev/urandom | uuencode -m - | head -n 65 | tail -n 64 | sudo tee /etc/.md1.key Here is some other information. $ uname -r 4.6.2-1-ARCH $ cryptsetup --version cryptsetup 1.7.1 $ sudo cryptsetup luksDump /dev/md1 LUKS header information for /dev/md1 Version: 1 Cipher name: aes Cipher mode: xts-plain64 Hash spec: sha256 Payload offset: 4096 MK bits: 256 MK digest: xxxxx MK salt: xxxxxx MK iterations: 333750 UUID: Key Slot 0: ENABLED Iterations: xxxxxxx Salt: xxxxxxx Key material offset: 8 AF stripes: 4000 Key Slot 1: DISABLED Key Slot 2: DISABLED Key Slot 3: DISABLED Key Slot 4: DISABLED Key Slot 5: DISABLED Key Slot 6: DISABLED Key Slot 7: DISABLED $ sudo mdadm --detail /dev/md1 /dev/md1: Version : 1.2 Creation Time : Thu Jun 9 14:01:50 2016 Raid Level : raid5 Array Size : 5860063232 (5588.59 GiB 6000.70 GB) Used Dev Size : 2930031616 (2794.30 GiB 3000.35 GB) Raid Devices : 3 Total Devices : 3 Persistence : Superblock is persistent Intent Bitmap : Internal Update Time : Fri Jun 17 13:13:00 2016 State : clean Active Devices : 3 Working Devices : 3 Failed Devices : 0 Spare Devices : 0 Layout : left-symmetric Chunk Size : 512K Number Major Minor RaidDevice State 0 8 17 0 active sync /dev/sdb1 1 8 33 1 active sync /dev/sdc1 3 8 81 2 active sync /dev/sdf1 _______________________________________________ dm-crypt mailing list dm-crypt@xxxxxxxx http://www.saout.de/mailman/listinfo/dm-crypt
