Re: Cryptsetup bug

Since sdb1 has a UUID that differes from the one that was just created it seems to be a stale one.

If you want to verify what's going on and you are sure you can reproduce it by the same steps then do the following:

Create your partitions, then verify there's no stale signatures.
First verify the kernel reflects your partitioning on the disk.
Then run blkid.
If there's signatures, use something like wipefs to remove them (or dd zeros).
Then recreate the container on sdb2 by issuing your appropriate command.
And run blkid again, to verify only on sdb2 a signature was created.

If suddendly a new luks signature would pop up on sdb1, you can start stracing the problem.

    Cryptsetup accesses only device that you specify.

    There are two options how could happen that LUKS device appeared on
    different partition:

    1) there was some old LUKS device on the /dev/sdb1 offset start
    already or
    2) you recreated partitions but for some reason kernel still see the
    old partitions size,
    and sdb1 was still in fact mapped to the old partition.

    Could you please paste blkid /dev/sdb* to verify it is the first
    option (to check LUKS UUID)?
    I guess you will see different UUIDs.

    And please do not send html mails to the list.

    Milan
