Hi Jivko, The keyfile is used to decrypt the "master key" stored in the header : the actual key that encrypts & decrypts your data. This "master key" is generated randomly at volume creation so even though your 2 drives may share the same passphrase or keyfile, the "master key" is different on each one. If you don't a backup, indeed I think you're out of options at present time. Regards, Jorge On 5/13/19 10:01 AM, Jivko Sabev wrote: > Greetings, > > The LUKS header on one of my disks got corrupted.
