I subbmitted the question to the upstream developers and they say that --offset is not supported in luksFormat mode anyway.
The correct way would be either to use kpartx losetup /dev/loop0 lenny.img kpartx -a /dev/loop0 cryptsetup luksFormat /dev/mapper/loop0p2 (for 2nd partition) or to set up the loop device itself with an offset losetup -o 98703360 /dev/loop0 lenny.img cryptsetup luksFormat /dev/loop0 On Mon, Jul 06, 2009 at 10:32:31PM +0200, Michel Messerschmidt wrote: > On Mon, Jul 06, 2009 at 10:51:44AM +0200, Sam Lowry wrote: > > losetup /dev/loop0 lenny.img > > mkdir lenny > > mount lenny.img lenny -t ext3 -o loop=/dev/loop0,offset=98703360 > > losetup offset is in bytes (see 'man losetup') > > > cryptsetup luksFormat --offset=98703360 /dev/loop0 > > >Command failed: Failed to write to key storage > > cryptsetup offset is in sectors (see 'cryptsetup --help') > > > HTH, > Michel > -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-security-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
