Subject: [dm-crypt] Debian 7.10 random key swap Device /dev/sda2 is not a valid LUKS device.
Date: Tue, 5 Apr 2016 21:25:06 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <57048FA2.7090008@holgerdanske.com> (raw)

dm-crypt:

I have a Debian 7.10 (Wheezy) computer with a random-key swap device. 
The disk and swap are working.


When I try to backup the LUKS header:

     # cryptsetup luksHeaderBackup /dev/sda2 --header-backup-file 
luksheaderbackup-sda2.bin
     Device /dev/sda2 is not a valid LUKS device.


Is this expected/ normal behavior for a dm-crypt/ LUKS random-key swap 
partition?


David
