Hello, I have both luks headerand key in files # ls LUKS-HEADER key the directory is read-only (chattr -R +i .) When I try to luksOpen my paretition, I get following error: # cryptsetup --allow-discards luksOpen /dev/sda2 sda2 --header LUKS-HEADER --key-file key Attaching loopback device failed (loop device with autoclear flag is required). Device LUKS-HEADER doesn't exist or access denied. when I change the current directory to read-write (chattr -R -i .) then it works. But why does cryptsetup need luks header and key to be writable ? thanks, _______________________________________________ dm-crypt mailing list dm-crypt@xxxxxxxx https://www.saout.de/mailman/listinfo/dm-crypt
