Together with the --volume-key-file +option, volume key is dumped to a file instead of standard output. +Beware that the volume key cannot be changed without reencryption and +can be used to decrypt the data stored in the LUKS container without a +passphrase and even without the LUKS header. This means that if the +volume key is compromised, the whole device has to be erased or +reencrypted to prevent further access. Use this option carefully. + +To dump the volume key, a passphrase has to be supplied, either +interactively or via --key-file. + +To dump unbound key (LUKS2 format only), --unbound parameter, specific +--key-slot id and proper passphrase has to be supplied, either +interactively or via --key-file. Optional --volume-key-file parameter +enables unbound keyslot dump to a file. + +To dump LUKS2 JSON metadata (without basic header information like UUID) +use --dump-json-metadata option. + +*<options>* can be [--dump-volume-key, --dump-json-metadata, --key-file, +--keyfile-offset, --keyfile-size, --header, --disable-locks, +--volume-key-file, --type, --unbound, --key-slot, --timeout]. + +*WARNING:* If --dump-volume-key is used with --key-file and the argument +to --key-file is '-', no validation question will be asked and no +warning given. + +include::man/common_options.adoc[] +include::man/common_footer.adoc[] |
