Hi,

After a hardware crash I now get this error:

	root@grml ~ # cryptsetup isLuks /dev/md1 
	Device /dev/md1 is not a valid LUKS device

Am I basically fucked?

I assume you have no header backup? 

If so, possibly, but not necessarily. Is this on an SSD? There
the LUKS header could be in the same "sector" as a data area 
(due large SSD actual sector size)

Can you send me the first 700 bytes of the partition as hexdump?
You can get them for example like this:

  hd /dev/md1 | head -n 40

Alas no.

No SSD, md raid6 array on regular disks.

At least th eheader was not just overwritten and looks intact. 
I have no idea why you get this error message.

Hi Louis-David,

I cannot send you Email directly, since it seems the IP of my
mailserver is on some internal blacklist of your ISP. As there
is no information why it is on the list (and no SPAM was ever 
sent from my Mailserver, which is under my own control), I 
can only assume the postmaster incompetently blocked the
whole subnet, not just the offending host. To make matters
worse, there is no working contact email and I propose you 
switch ISPs to someone that knows how to run a mailserver.

Anyways, here is my answer to your second hexdump:

The header looks fine, but it is in the wrong place.
It should start at 0x00000000. Is there soem mapping
or offset specification missing?

Arno

Evening,

I'd start experimenting given the offset, I'd suggest either a backup
or to only do ro operations on the volume:

Perhaps something like this as a first try, all quantities are in
blocks. Quite untested so man * may be a good idea :)

OFFSET=2048
LENGTH=$(( $(blockdev --getsz /dev/sdb) - $OFFSET )
echo "0 $LENGTH linear /dev/sdb $OFFSET"|dmsetup create sdb_offset
cryptsetup luksDump /dev/mapper/sdb_offset
cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/mapper/sdb_offset plain_sdb_offset
fsck.ext4 -n /dev/mapper/plain_sdb_offset
mount -o ro /dev/mapper/plain_sdb_offset /mnt/test/
