Needs kernel 2.6.19 or later. +While the _luksSuspend_ operation wipes encryption keys from memory, +it does not remove possible plaintext data in various caches or in-kernel +metadata for mounted filesystems. + After this operation, you have to use _luksResume_ to reinstate the encryption key and unblock the device or _close_ to remove the mapped device. |
