-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi all, I created a LUKS encrypted partition via a udev-triggered script on 6.6 using --key-file /tmp/foo.

Reviving a very old thread... I tried this (cryptsetup --hash plain luksOpen /dev/sdb1 sdb1) but it fails to recognize the passphrase at the command line still. When I tried to use '--hash plain' on luksFormat, I get: [r...
