CRYPTSETUP-LUKSSUSPEND(8) Maintenance Commands CRYPTSETUP-LUKSSUSPEND(8)
cryptsetup-luksSuspend - suspends an active device and wipes the
key
cryptsetup luksSuspend [<options>] <name>
Suspends an active device (all IO operations will block and
accesses to the device will wait indefinitely) and wipes the
encryption key from kernel memory. Needs kernel 2.6.19 or later.
After this operation, you have to use luksResume to reinstate the
encryption key and unblock the device or close to remove the
mapped device.
<options> can be [--header, --disable-locks].
WARNING: Never suspend the device on which the cryptsetup binary
resides.
--header <device or file storing the LUKS header>
Use a detached (separated) metadata device or file where the
LUKS header is stored. This option allows one to store
ciphertext and LUKS header on different devices.
For commands that change the LUKS header (e.g. luksAddKey),
specify the device or file with the LUKS header directly as
the LUKS device.
--disable-locks
Disable lock protection for metadata on disk. This option is
valid only for LUKS2 and ignored for other formats.
WARNING: Do not use this option unless you run cryptsetup in
a restricted environment where locking is impossible to
perform (where /run directory cannot be used).
--batch-mode, -q
Suppresses all confirmation questions. Use with care!
If the --verify-passphrase option is not specified, this
option also switches off the passphrase verification.
--debug or --debug-json
Run in debug mode with full diagnostic logs. Debug output
lines are always prefixed by #.
If --debug-json is used, additional LUKS2 JSON data
structures are printed.
--version, -V
Show the program version.
--usage
Show short option help.
--help, -?
Show help text and default parameters.
Report bugs at cryptsetup mailing list
<cryptsetup@lists.linux.dev> or in Issues project section
<https://gitlab.com/cryptsetup/cryptsetup/-/issues/new>.
Please attach output of the failed command with --debug option
added.
