Please note that luksFormat and luksAddKey take a key-file as a second
argument, so --key-file is not necessary, just specify the key-file
directly. Further, the name ("swap_crypt") does not need to be provided
for these two commands .. it doesn't make sense in that context anyway.
That's actually what causes the failure above, since cryptsetup
interprets "swap_crypt" as the name of the keyfile.In short, just use the following line instead: cryptsetup luksFormat /dev/md1 /etc/keys/dm-crypt/swap_crypt.key That should do. Bug should be closed. You might also consider using either a randomized key for swap or deriving the key for that from your key for the root partition (using the decrypt_derived script, in genuine Debian at least). -- cryptsetup luksFormat can't find key file with a period in name https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/183413 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
