It used to be possible, I don't see any good reason for that feature to be removed. e.g. You could have a multi-user PC, and give each user their own key to be able to boot up, rather than giving everyone the same one. Then if you have to revoke access to one person, you can do so without messing everyone else up. There was a limit to how many keys could be added, but you'll be well under that. > ChatGTP thinks this is it: > > # cryptsetup luksAddKey /dev/nvme0n1p4 And that's when you look things up in the man files. It's relatively safe to use some searching to find out *what* you might have to do, but read your *own* man files to double-check and find out how to do it. -- uname -rsvp Linux 3.10.0-1160.119.1.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Jun 4 14:43:51 UTC 2024 x86_64 (yes, this is the output from uname for this PC when I posted) Boilerplate: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
