m.b.d

Recommended Posts

I've just upgraded to the newest version of unraid and after reboot my pass phrase to unlock the encrypted array is not working.  It worked twice earlier today

 

What to do?  I cant loose all my data

 

Found a copy of my key file on a secure usb drive.  was able to use that to unlock the array...

A copy of the key file or copy of the pass?

The encryption key can be either a passphrase or a keyfile.

The passphrase is something the user has to memorize or store somewhere.

The keyfile can be text or binary content, and must be stored in a safe place.

Upon startup the passphrase or keyfile is locally copied to /root/keyfile and this file is used to unlock the actual encryption/decryption key of LUKS
