Unable to restore header from LUKS2 container #133

Closed git70 closed 5 years ago

git70 commented 5 years ago
  1. Create a LUKS2 volume with a built-in header.
  2. Header backup.
  3. The attempt to restore ends with the message: "Failed to perform requested operation". Current version: 5.6.0.1569071478.a365c2ad-0 Linux Mint 19.2

Thanks for the report and the git version has a fix for the problem.

LUKS1 header are 3MB big and zuluCrypt had this size as the maximum size a volume header can have but LUKS2 header are 4MB big and zuluCrypt was rejecting them. I solved the problem by raising the maximum size to 10MB.
