I have a Debian Stretch and recently I added a new cyphered partition.
All works well but I don't understand why and it's bothering me.
Setup:
$ cat /etc/crypttab
m2_root_crypt UUID=4e655198-a111-... none luks,discard
m2_swap_crypt UUID=56485640-8a04-... none luks,discard
ssd_dades_crypt UUID=8d1d855d-17a7-... none luks,discard
All three partitions have the same passphrase.
On restart I'm asked for two passwords:
m2_root_crypt
m2_swap_crypt
...
The question is:
"Please unlock disk m2_root_crypt:"
I expcted to write the password three times.
My guess is that you made a mistake and stepped on your encrypted container
(ssd_dades_crypt?) when you created the new file system. Did you keep a
copy of your console session? Posting it would help.
Sadly I didn't keep a copy of my console session.
I got into the habit of cutting and pasting administrative console
sessions into a log file (and putting the log file into a version
control system). This technique has proven to be invaluable -- I
recommend it to everyone.
Commands and something extra:
root@pinux:~# grep crypt /etc/fstab
/dev/mapper/m2_root_crypt / ext4 errors=remount-ro 0 1
/dev/mapper/m2_swap_crypt none swap sw 0 0
/dev/mapper/ssd_dades_crypt /home/carles/dades ext4 errors=remount-ro 0 1
Okay.
root@pinux:~# ls -l /dev/mapper/
total 0
crw------- 1 root root 10, 236 ago 1 23:34 control
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 ago 1 23:34 m2_root_crypt -> ../dm-0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 ago 1 23:34 m2_swap_crypt -> ../dm-1
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 ago 1 23:34 ssd_dades_crypt -> ../dm-2
Okay.
root@pinux:~# mount | grep dades
/dev/mapper/ssd_dades_crypt on /home/carles/dades type ext4 (rw,relatime,errors=remount-ro,data=ordered)
Okay.
Please run the following command to learn more about the device mapper
