The +_reencrypt_ action reencrypts data on LUKS device in-place. + +You can regenerate *volume key* (the real key used in on-disk encryption +unclocked by passphrase), *cipher*, *cipher mode* or *encryption sector size* +(LUKS2 only). + +Reencryption process may be safely interrupted by a user via SIGINT +signal (ctrl+c). Same applies to SIGTERM signal (i.e. issued by systemd +during system shutdown). + +For in-place encryption mode, the _reencrypt_ action additionally takes all +options available for _luksFormat_ action for respective LUKS version (see +cryptsetup-luksFormat man page for more details). See *cryptsetup-luksFormat*(8). + +*NOTE* that for encrypt and decrypt mode, the whole device must be +treated as unencrypted -- there are no quarantees of confidentiality as +part of the device contains plaintext. + +*ALWAYS BE SURE YOU HAVE RELIABLE BACKUP BEFORE USING THIS ACTION ON LUKS DEVICE.* + +*<options>* can be [--batch-mode, +--block-size, +--cipher, +--debug, +--debug-json, +--decrypt, +--device-size, +--disable-locks, +--encrypt, +--force-offline-reencrypt, +--hash, +--header, +--hotzone-size, +--iter-time, +--init-only, +--keep-key, +--key-file, +--key-size, +--key-slot, +--keyfile-offset, +--keyfile-size, +--tries, +--timeout, +--pbkdf, +--pbkdf-force-iterations, +--pbkdf-memory, +--pbkdf-parallel, +--progress-frequency, +--progress-json, +--reduce-device-size, +--resilience, +--resilience-hash, +--resume-only, +--sector-size, +--use-directio, +--use-random, +--use-urandom, +--use-fsync, +--uuid, +--verbose, +--volume-key-file, +--write-log]. + +== LUKS2 REENCRYPTION + +With <device> parameter cryptsetup looks up active <device> dm mapping. +If no active mapping is detected, it starts offline LUKS2 reencryption +otherwise online reencryption takes place. + +To resume already initialized or interrupted reencryption, just run the +cryptsetup _reencrypt_ command again to continue the reencryption +operation. Reencryption may be resumed with different --resilience or +--hotzone-size unless implicit datashift resilience mode is used: either +encrypt mode with --reduce-device-size option or decrypt mode with +original LUKS2 header exported in --header file. + +If the reencryption process was interrupted abruptly (reencryption +process crash, system crash, poweroff) it may require recovery. The +recovery is currently run automatically on next activation (action +_open_) when needed or explicitly by user (action _repair_). + +Optional parameter <new_name> takes effect only with encrypt option +and it activates device <new_name> immediately after encryption +initialization gets finished. That's useful when device needs to be +ready as soon as possible and mounted (used) before full data area +encryption is completed. + +== LUKS1 REENCRYPTION + +Current working directory must be writable and temporary files created during +reencryption must be present.
