deaerator Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 I'm trying to add a new drive to my encrypted array, and after the pre-clear it keeps telling me it's unmountable due to missing encryption key. How do I find this setting or how to mount it with encryption? Diagnostics attached. tower-diagnostics-20181026-1215.zip Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 You need to format after clearing. Quote Link to comment
deaerator Posted October 27, 2018 Author Share Posted October 27, 2018 I attempted to format and it still says unmountable missing encryption key. Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 Looks like encryption key is missing: Oct 25 21:37:44 Tower emhttpd: shcmd (715): /usr/sbin/cryptsetup luksFormat /dev/md9 --key-file /root/keyfile Oct 25 21:37:44 Tower root: Failed to open key file. Reboot the server, re-enter the encryption key and try to format again. Quote Link to comment
deaerator Posted October 28, 2018 Author Share Posted October 28, 2018 (edited) Thank you for the help. I had to move the keyfile temparory to that location until it was formatted and mounted. Then I deleted and did a re-boot and everything is working correctly. Edited October 28, 2018 by deaerator 1 Quote Link to comment
