Opening an encrypted partition with a keyfile
- If you suspect that a partition requires a keyfile instead of a passphrase to open check the file:
cat /etc/crypttab
- A line like this will indicated such situation:
shirka_ssd-cache-decrypted UUID=43xxxca6-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-062a3cc5acee /.debian_crypt.key luks,discard
- To open such partition use the following command:
cryptsetup -d crypt.key luksOpen /dev/bcache0 shirka-bcache0-uncrypt
