Hello, I am trying to create a new detached luks header, but the command fails: cryptsetup -v --type luks1 --cipher aes-xts-plain64 --key-size 512 --hash sha512 --use-random luksFormat /dev/null --header LUKS-HEADER --align-payload=0 WARNING! ======== This will overwrite data on LUKS-HEADER irrevocably. Are you sure? (Type uppercase yes): YES Enter passphrase for LUKS-HEADER: Verify passphrase: Device /dev/null is not compatible. Command failed with code -3 (out of memory). And when I ommit /dev/null, then I get another error: cryptsetup: luksFormat: requires <device> [<new key file>] as arguments Why does cryptsetup require a device, when I am formatting the detached luks header? No device is involved at this point. All I want is to create header file. How can I create a header, without specifying the device ? thanks, _______________________________________________ dm-crypt mailing list dm-crypt@xxxxxxxx https://www.saout.de/mailman/listinfo/dm-crypt
