Add --device-size parameter for use in LUKS2 reencryption. Currently it's used only in LUKS2 reencryption code for reencrypting initial part of data device only. It may be used to encrypt/reencrypt only initial part of data device if user is aware that rest of the device is empty.
Cryptsetup is a utility used to conveniently set up disk encryption based on the DMCrypt kernel module.
These include plain dm-crypt volumes, LUKS volumes, loop-AES and TrueCrypt (including VeraCrypt extension) formats.
The project also includes a veritysetup utility used to conveniently setup DMVerity block integrity checking kernel module and, since version 2.0, integritysetup to setup DMIntegrity block integrity kernel module.
LUKS is the standard for Linux hard disk encryption. By providing a standard on-disk-format, it does not
only facilitate compatibility among distributions, but also provides secure management of multiple user passwords.
LUKS stores all necessary setup information in the partition header, enabling to transport or migrate data seamlessly.
Last version of the LUKS2 format specification is available here.
Last version of the LUKS1 format specification is available here.
All release tarballs and release notes are hosted on kernel.org.
The latest cryptsetup version is 2.1.0
The latest testing and experimental cryptsetup version is 2.2.0-rc0
