Windows RunAs command syntax and examples Ergo B flashing and malware cleaning. Add disk Add an additional free disk or a free partition to your system that you want to encrypt. Are you sure? Type uppercase yes : YES. Enter LUKS passphrase :. Verify passphrase :. Enter any passphrase :. Use tune2fs -c or -i to override.
To check the content of the lukskey file use xxd. As you see it is filled with random data. Next modify your crypttab and provide the keyfile details to make sure system does not halts asking for passphrase of luks device. I am sure this time your system should come up automatically without prompting for any passphrase to mount the LUKS encrypted partition.

I would like Linux completely forget encrypted disk connected during the boot not asking any password nor picking the password somewhere as with my scritp see below I can do it when I want i.
Is it any way I can have Linux not paying attention nor request password for an encrypted device at the boot? That would be magic! It is a good solution but I want encryption of my external hdd on client side be active always with the exception of the time frame while the nas performs its backup to the unencrypted hdd on the client.
It looks too complicated. Need to investigate if I can load encryption modules on the fly and not at the beginning of boot process simply adding few commands into my script Thanks. Please do share your observations, as I remember someone else had similar requirements for external disk.
In the systemd will not actually mount the directory until the first time it is accessed, e. It is because the root file system is also encrypted, so the key is safe. The root file system is decrypted during the initramfs stage of boot, a la Mikhail's answer.

I'm trying to setup an encrypted volume following this guide Everything is setup but mounting the encrypted volume fails at boot-time with the error: fsck. So I went to the devoper's website and in the Common Problems FAQ they say: Check that you have the device mapper and the crypt target in your kernel.
Improve this question. Community Bot 1. Does the crypt target show up after you manually do luksOpen? I'd expect that if it wasn't there, luksOpen would fail too. Ok, after sudo cryptsetup luksOpen two new targets appear for sudo dmsetup targets : error and crypt.
I guess I need to change the question then Is it a partition or a file container? Do you know if crypttab works with LVM volumes? All mounted at boot without a problem. Can you show the output of lsblk -o name,uuid,mountpoint when everything is mounted and works as it should?
