Package: cryptsetup Version: 2:1.0.6-7 Severity: minor When you try to create a mapping using an invalid passphrase or a non-LUKS source image, "create" succeeds without giving any warning/error and the mapping is created. This behaviour is incoherent with the "luksOpen" one, because "luksOpen" gives an error when the entered passphrase is wrong and no mapping is created. I think is necessary to fix or document this discrepancy to avoid confusions. Example using an invalid image:
serge:/tmp# dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/test.img bs=1024k seek=1 count=0 0+0 records in 0+0 records out 0 bytes (0 B) copied, 1.76e-05 s, 0.0 kB/s serge:/tmp# losetup /dev/loop2 test.img serge:/tmp# losetup -a /dev/loop2: [fe03]:2703637 (test.img) serge:/tmp# ls /dev/mapper/ control serge:/tmp# cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/loop2 testmap Enter LUKS passphrase: <HERE I ENTER ANYTHING> Command failed: No key available with this passphrase. serge:/tmp# ls /dev/mapper/ control serge:/tmp# cryptsetup create testmap /dev/loop2 Enter passphrase: <HERE I ENTER ANYTHING> sh: /sbin/udevsettle: No such file or directory serge:/tmp# ls /dev/mapper/ control testmap serge:/tmp# (note, there is also another problem related with /sbin/udevsettle, but here I'm not reporting it) -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-1-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages cryptsetup depends on: ii dmsetup 2:1.02.30-3 The Linux Kernel Device Mapper use ii libc6 2.9-4 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libdevmapper1.02.1 2:1.02.30-3 The Linux Kernel Device Mapper use ii libpopt0 1.14-4 lib for parsing cmdline parameters ii libuuid1 1.41.3-1 universally unique id library cryptsetup recommends no packages.
