Hi, recently live-helpers was corrected for cryptsetup calls for persistency on luks.
http://git.debian.net/?p=debian-live/live-initramfs.git;a=commit;h=d6df808045a033b717c2a9a903ed4f9cbb7c67a4 I was trying to use this feature but I was getting the following error: /lib/cryptsetup/askpass Enter passphrase for live-rw on /dev/mapper/hda1: /sbin/cryptsetup -T 1 luksOpen /dev/mapper/hda1 hda1 --key-file=- Error: incorrect number of arguments Usage: /lib/cryptsetup/askpass PROMPT A -> | <- is missing between askpass and cryptsetup commands: /lib/cryptsetup/askpass "Enter passphrase for ${pers_label} on ${devname}: " | /sbin/cryptsetup -T 1 luksOpen ${devname} $(basename ${devname}) --key-file=- Tested and confirmed. Now the passphrase is asked. But I still can't get to open the luks partition. How I created the luks partiton: mkfs.ext2 -L home-rw /dev/hda1 cryptsetup luksFormat /dev/hda1 cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/hda1 home-rw mkfs.ext2 -L home-rw /dev/mapper/home-rw cryptsetup luksClose /dev/mapper/home-rw Is this the correct way? How should I create it? I tried to use 'cryptsetup create' but the partition wasn't found. The partition is labeled home-rw but I'm asked for a passphrase for live-rw, home-rw, live-sn and home-sn and everytime it fails with: Enter passphrase for live-rw on /dev/hda1: There was an error decrypting /dev/mapper/hda1 ... Retry? [Y/n] Command failed: No key available with this passphrase. n Enter passphrase for home-rw on /dev/hda1: There was an error decrypting /dev/mapper/hda1 ... Retry? [Y/n] Command failed: No key available with this passphrase. n ... But after booting I can open the luks partition with the command that live-helpers should be running: # /lib/cryptsetup/askpass "Prompt " | /sbin/cryptsetup -T 1 luksOpen /dev/hda1 hda1 --key-file=- Prompt [ 412.387784] padlock: VIA PadLock not detected. [ 412.461262] padlock: VIA PadLock Hash Engine not detected. key slot 0 unlocked. Command successful. # mount /dev/mapper/hda1 /home # Attached is the debug mode live.log with persistent boot option using that partition. (note: in debug mode the user can't see anything. I've typed the passphrase and then 'n' to not retry in the four times it asks for the passphrase) TIA Rui M. P. Bernardo
