PostPosted: Fri Sep 25, 2015 5:47 am    Post subject: [solved] cryptsetup command leads to "unknown action&qu Reply with quote

Hey there,

I am currently trying to add / change the key for some of my encrypted containers by executing
Quote:
cryptsetup luksAddkey /dev/DEVICE

respectively
Quote:
cryptsetup luksChangekey /dev/DEVICE


I always get the following message:
Quote:
cryptsetup: Unbekannte Aktion.

("cryptsetup: unknown action.")

The problem persists on two different systems (gentoo-sources-3.18.16 hardened-sources-4.1.6) and I use cryptsetup 1.6.5:
Code:
[I] sys-fs/cryptsetup
     Available versions:  1.6.2 1.6.5 ~1.6.7 ~1.6.8 {+gcrypt kernel nettle nls openssl pwquality python reencrypt static static-libs udev urandom PYTHON_SINGLE_TARGET="python2_7 python3_3 python3_4" PYTHON_TARGETS="python2_7 python3_3 python3_4"}
     Installed versions:  1.6.5(06:03:55 25.09.2015)(kernel nls static urandom -gcrypt -nettle -openssl -pwquality -python -reencrypt -static-libs -udev PYTHON_SINGLE_TARGET="python2_7 -python3_3 -python3_4" PYTHON_TARGETS="python2_7 python3_4 -python3_3")
     Homepage:            https://gitlab.com/cryptsetup/cryptsetup/blob/master/README.md
     Description:         Tool to setup encrypted devices with dm-crypt


What am I doing wrong?

Best regards and thanks in advance,
Jimini

...oh my.

May this thread be a memorial for all those, who do not read the commands carefully.

Best regards,
Jimini
