Except running +in batch-mode (-q) a remaining passphrase must be supplied, either +interactively or via --key-file. This command can remove the last +remaining key-slot, but requires an interactive confirmation when doing +so. Removing the last passphrase makes a LUKS container permanently +inaccessible. + +*<options>* can be [--key-file, --keyfile-offset, --keyfile-size, +--header, --disable-locks, --type, --verify-passphrase, --timeout]. + +*WARNING:* If you read the passphrase from stdin (without further +argument or with '-' as an argument to --key-file), batch-mode (-q) will +be implicitly switched on and no warning will be given when you remove +the last remaining passphrase from a LUKS container. Removing the last +passphrase makes the LUKS container permanently inaccessible. + +*NOTE:* If there is no passphrase provided (on stdin or through +--key-file argument) and batch-mode (-q) is active, the key-slot is +removed without any other warning. + +include::man/common_options.adoc[] +include::man/common_footer.adoc[] |
