Hmmm. > Is this file supposed to contain a password or a hash? It defaults to the raw key when given the -d option. You can confirm this with 'dmsetup table <dev>'. If you enter a password, it certainly defaults to using a hash function. I imagine this is the same for 'cat file | cryptsetup'. If you passed the '-h <hash>' option this might make it behave the same. I don't have time to verify this. If you need the same key for compatability, you can use 'dmsetup table' to get the raw key after mounting it with a passphrase and a hash function. Your keyfile must be at least 32 bytes for an AES256 bit key. (16 bytes for an AES128). Hope this helps! -- Wesley W.
