cryptsetup-1.6.6 does not open LUKS ecb-mode partitions
Issue 238 by randomic... on 2014-12-21 12:37:28:
Hi,
on the Arch forum there is a thread with two users failing to open devices with ECB mode (one ecb-plain and one ecb-benbi). Both users apparently had a working blockdevice up incl. 1.6.4.
I just searched and apparently they did not report it here. To me the problem looks very similar to issue #222 and the issues reported on the mailing list following the 1.6.5 release.
If you have time, please have a look at the thread (it has --debug output): https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=186296
I have not tried to reproduce it yet, but can test on the distro to help with this if it makes sense. If you think it is a bogus problem, just mark this as invalid - no big deal for me.
Regards,
Ingo
