[6.11.0] array not being decrypted on startup

I had the same problem.  

 

Another issue is that if I delete the key, using the ui button, the old options to manually enter the decryption key and start the array is missing.

 

**Rolling back now to verify that everything is working again

 

** Roll back allowed me to decrypt the drives without problem

My question is what does the "Permit Reformat" checkbox next to it do? There is zero documentation on that.

I've had the same issue. After spending a lot of time on this, I've figured that upgrade to 6.11.0 somehow disabled array auto start. After setting "Settings" / "Disk Settings" / "Enable auto start" back to "yes", it auto decrypts again.

Checking this will let array Start and all devices which cannot be luksOpen'ed will appear as 'Unformatted' where you could then Reformat.  Of course you would only do this for devices that you know do not contain data you need.

Nothing changed in this area of the code, but really need diagnostics in order to tell what's happening.  i believe our diagnostic gathering script will anonymize commands in 'go' to fetch the keyfile but you could verify this first.

I just gathered the files, would it be possible to provide these to you in a not public way? I know you do your best to anonymize, but I don't want the meta information and probable oversights out in the public.

I found the issue, if you were using scp to get the keyfile, there was an update which can break scp under some circumstances.
