[Solved] How to resize an encrypted luks partition?

Edit: This worked: http://www.enigmacurry.com/2007/04/28/r … ilesystem/
I have some empty space on my harddrive, and wish to fill it up, with my existing partition.
This is my harddrive setup in gparted:
And fdisk respectively:
[ricky@archlinux ~]$ sudo fdisk /dev/sda -l
Disk /dev/sda: 320.1 GB, 320072933376 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 38913 cylinders, total 625142448 sectors
Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x58bd1192
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 * 63 289169 144553+ 83 Linux
/dev/sda2 289170 195607439 97659135 83 Linux
/dev/sda2 (the crypted luks partition) contains an lvm group.
I am trying to enlarge the luks partition, to fill all of the empty space, soi can give some more space to the lvm's inside the encrypted partition.
I did come across an interesting page here: http://www.enigmacurry.com/2007/04/28/r … ilesystem/
Is this the correct approach, by deleting the WHOLE partition (not the data), and then simply creating a new partition, with the same start-sector, and the higher end-sector?
Will that allow me to then resize my lvm's inside of the luks partition?
I am sorry if this is confusing.

That thread has absolutely no information other than a list of motivations to use Windows to defrag it... and a link to a buggy Python defragger.
Here's the only bulletproof way to defrag NTFS under Linux:
Make a new partition of the same size (or bigger), and format it to NTFS and mount it at /defragged
Mount your fragged partition at /fragged
rsync -av /fragged /defragged
Wha-la. /defragged is now your fragged partition, defragged. Reformat /fragged and rsync it back if you really must.
Drives get fragmented if you do multiple copies at the same time, so don't do anything else on the drive while it's syninc.

  • [SOLVED] Initramfs fails to properly mount luks partition

    Hello All,
    As I foreshadowed in my intro, I'm having trouble getting encrypted Archlinux to work on my Acer Aspire 5750. I've previously had encrypted Debian Netinst and encrypted Aptosid working on this device. The arch iso I'm using is 2011.08.19-core-i686.
    https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=124415 appears similar and Tallahassee offers a workaround, but it doesn't work for me (unless I'm doing something wrong?)
    I suspect there is a bug in the init scripts used by the initramfs. I would like to first of all determine whether I really should file a bug report (and if so where), and secondly whether we can find a workaround to get things up and running in the meantime.
    Now for the meaty bits.
    Old grub doesn't appear to support lvm or luks, so I first of all prepare for grub 2 by installing the gptfdisk package into the iso environment. I use gdisk to set up a 1 or 2 mb bios boot partition at the start of /dev/sda, followed by a 256mb partition (/dev/sda2) for /boot, with the rest of the drive given to the partition intended for the encrypted root partition (/dev/sda3).
    I use cfdisk to toggle the partition type for /dev/sda3 to 8e (Linux LVM).
    Run the following commands, with credits to Aptosid: Installing to a Cryptroot:
    pvcreate /dev/sda3
    vgcreate vg /dev/sda3
    lvcreate -n crypt --extents 100%FREE vg
    cryptsetup --verify-passphrase -c aes-xts-plain:sha512 luksFormat /dev/mapper/vg-crypt
    cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/mapper/vg-crypt cryptroot
    pvcreate /dev/mapper/cryptroot
    vgcreate cryptvg /dev/mapper/cryptroot
    lvcreate -n swap --size 2g cryptvg
    lvcreate -n root --extents 25%FREE cryptvg
    lvcreate -n home --extents 100%FREE cryptvg
    /arch/setup
    Go through the arch setup as normal. At the bit where you configure hard-drives, you'll find all your encrypted partitions ready waiting to be labelled and formatted. Stop after installing packages.
    After installing packages, press CTL-ALT-F2 and log in. Edit /mnt/etc/rc.conf and /mnt/etc/mkinitcpio.conf. CTL-ALT-F1 and reinstall packages. Proceed with the configure step.
    Don't install a boot loader; just quit after configuring everything.
    Follow the steps here: Grub 2 During Archlinux Installation.
    The automatically generated grub.cfg doesn't include things necessary to lvm and luks. Before running grub_bios-install, I edit the grub.cfg to insmod lvm and flag the kernel with cryptdevice=/dev/mapper/vg-crypt:cryptvg-root and rootfstype=ext4 (because that is the encrypted root's filesystem).
    At this point, I would expect the system to be bootable, so reboot.
    Grub2 loads up. I can verify the changes I made to grub.cfg by pressing `e'. So boot and see the messages,
    Loading Linux linux ...
    Loading initial ramdisk ...
    A password is required to access the cryptvg-root volume:
    Enter passphrase for /dev/mapper/vg-crypt:
    So far so good. I enter my passphrase. The following messages ensue:
    vgscan: unrecognized option '--sysinit'
    Error during parsing of command line.
    device-mapper: create ioctl failed: Device or resource busy
    mount: mounting /dev/mapper/cryptvg-root on /new_root failed: Device or resource busy
    ERROR: Failed to mount he real root device.
    Bailing out, you are on your own. Good luck.
    So I get dumped into the ramfs. That ain't much fun.
    Does anyone have some ideas on things to try next? Should I file a bug report?

    Not sure what you mean by difficult and buggy to work with... at this low level, if a VM is having issues replicating this sort if thing, it's not a very useful VM. Find one that doesn't suck. I tend to use KVM because it's terminal friendly via emulation of a serial console.
    Anyways, I can reproduce your issue and fix it. There's 2 things you'll need to change:
    1) You're naming your unlocked cryptdevice the same thing as your root. That's creating a clash with the name you've given your root logical volume. Since the name isn't really important, just change your cryptdevice declare to "cryptdevice=/dev/mapper/vg-crypt:root"
    2) Since you're doing the xzibit thing and nesting lvm inside of the crypt device (i still think its really bizzare to do this, but it looks like mkinitcpio supports it anyways), you'll need to add the lvm2 hook a second time to HOOKS in /etc/mkinitcpio.conf after the encrypt hook.

  • [SOLVED] Arch Linux on encrypted luks partition on USB key

    Hi
    I've installed Arch Linux on a USB key following this Wiki page: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/In … _a_USB_key
    I also used dm-crypt as described in this Wiki page: https://wiki.archlinux.de/title/Festpla … iante_1.29
    I installed Arch Linux on the USB key using VirtualBox.
    To do that, I created a "rawvmdk":
    vboxmanage internalcommands createrawvmdk -filename ./usb.vmdk -rawdisk /dev/sdd
    Everything works fine when I'm trying to start the system within VirtualBox.
    Syslinux loads Arch using the following kernel command:
    APPEND cryptdevice=UUID=6aa73872-3755-4bdf-bee3-d1cd7a3fe0bf:main root=/dev/mapper/main-root rw
    /etc/mkinitcpio.conf holds the following "HOOKS" configuration:
    HOOKS="base udev autodetect modconf block keyboard keymap encrypt lvm2 filesystems fsch resume"
    As already mentioned the configuration works within VirtualBox. When I'm trying to boot from the USB key on my real computer, I'm getting an error. Syslinux works fine and loads Linux, but Linux is complaining. Here's the log:
    :: running hoock [encrypt]
    Waiting 10 seconds for device /dev/disk/by-uuid/6aa73872-3755-4bdf-bee3-d1cd7a3fe0bf ...
    ERROR: device '/dev/mapper/main-root' not found. Skipping fschk.
    ERROR: Unable to find root device '/dev/mapper/main-root'.
    You are being dropped to a recovery shell
    I'm not getting prompted for the passphrase since the cryptdevice can not be found. But why? It can be found when I'm booting within VirtualBox. What might be different? I successfully installed other Linux distributions (but without encryption and using GRUB as bootloader) previously within VirtualBox and was able to boot from the USB key on a real machine afterwards.
    Some additional information that might help:
    Here's the "lsblk -f output" for the stick:
    sdd
    ├─sdd1 ext4 usbboot bb45e84e-842e-4209-8c44-1af3c7933389
    └─sdd2 crypto_L 6aa73872-3755-4bdf-bee3-d1cd7a3fe0bf
    When I'm running "lsblk" or "blkid" from the recovery shell after the failure, I'm getting no output. "ls /dev/sd*" returns nothing as well. The directory /dev/disk does not even exists in the recovery shell. (I'm not sure if this is normal or not.)
    Thanks for helping.

    I still haven't solved the problem:
    When starting the system on a machine with NVIDIA GTX 560Ti graphics card:
    - X doesn't start using startx or xinit and there are no log entries in /var/log/Xorg.*.log (as I haven't tried to start X).
    - I'm getting the message "Waiting for X server to begin accepting connections .. .. .. ..".
    - I already tried to uninstall xf86-video-nouveau and nouveau-dri with no effect.
    - Additionally: The "default terminals tty1/2/3/..." (which I'm using to start X) from have a poor resolution (I think 640x480 pixel).
    When starting the system on a virtual machine or a machine with an ATI Radeon (mobile) graphics card:
    - X starts and runs without any trouble the XFCE desktop environment.
    - Additionally: The default terminals have a proper resolution (I think the maximal resolution of the display).

  • Resizing luks partition "in front"

    Hello
    I have currently the following partitioning scheme:
    .-(~)----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------(root@tirion)-
    `--# fdisk -l /dev/sda
    Disk /dev/sda: 107.1 GiB, 115033153536 bytes, 224674128 sectors
    Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
    Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
    I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
    Disklabel type: dos
    Disk identifier: 0x4488c4dc
    Device Boot Start End Sectors Size Id Type
    /dev/sda1 * 63 192779 192717 94.1M 83 Linux
    /dev/sda2 192780 224674127 224481348 107G 83 Linux
    sda1 is a normal ext4 partition, sda2 LUKS with ext4
    I found out, how I can grow a LUKS partition on the "end", but how can I get rid of sda1 and resize the luks partition to take all of the space?

    Growing, or resizing in general, only happens on the end. So the way to do that would be to delete sda1 & sda2 (in the partition table that is) and create a new partition sda1 over the entire disk. Then you'd need to move the data from the old sda2 to be located where they outta be, so say for example your new partition would be like e.g.
    Device Boot Start End Sectors Size Id Type
    /dev/sda1 2048 224674127 224672080 107G 83 Linux
    That would mean sda2 used to start at 192780*512=98703360 and the new one would now start at 2048*512=1048576 -- So I guess you could move data e.g. with dd:
    dd bs=4M if=/dev/sda skip=98703360 iflag=skip_bytes of=/dev/sda seek=1048576 oflag=seek_bytes
    It should put the data of the old sda2 right in the new sda1 location, so you can use it as expected. Then you can then grow your filesystem as usual (on the end) to take all the space/partition.
    Assuming sda2 has a LUKS header, a simply way to make sure your at the right place would be:
    dd if=/dev/sda bs=4 count=1 skip=98703360 iflag=skip_bytes
    If it's right, it should read/show "LUKS"
    Of course you should have a backup of your data before doing any of that. (Also some tools like maybe gparted or something might be able to do the whole thing "automatically" for you, I don't know.)

  • [solved] kernel 2.6.27 - open LUKS encrypted root partition fails

    Hi,
    after updating to kernel 2.6.27 the passphrase for my LUKS encrypted root partition does not work anymore.
    I get this error messages:
    Enter LUKS passphrase:
    device-mapper: table: 254:0 crypt: Error allocating crypto tfm
    device-mapper: ioctl: error adding target to table
    device-mapper: ioctl: device doesn't appear to be in the dev hash table.
    Command failed: No key available with this passphrase.
    Enter LUKS passphrase:
    With a old (2.6.25) vanilla kernel it works.
    any ideas?
    EDIT
    Solved.
    The Problem was that I had this line in my mkinitcpio.conf to get rid of the padlock-error-message at boot.
    #CRYPTO_MODULES="aes_i586 aes_generic sha256_generic"
    With kernel 2.6.27 there are new / more modules needed to open the LUKS encryptet root partition.
    So I removed the line from mkinitcpio.conf and deletet the padlock modules in /lib/modules/2.6.27-ARCH before regenarating the initrd image.
    Thanks to GerBra for the tip.

  • [Solved] Problem booting root in LVM, which spans two LUKS partitions

    Hello,
    I recently switched to Arch from OpenSuse, and I'm having a bit of trouble getting my encrypted disks to boot properly. I have two disks, the first is a 4 TB drive set up like this:
    MBR partition table
    Partition 1 - Windows 7, 200GB
    Partition 2 - Linux boot, 200MB
    Partition 3 - Luks partition, 1.7TB
    Partition 4 - Luks partition, 1.7TB
    Within partition 3 and 4 is an LVM volume which spans the two partitions. The reason for that is just that I can't have a 3.4TB partition on an MBR formatted drive (as I understand it). I have the root volume and swap, etc within this LVM. The second hard drive is simply a data drive, also encrypted. My problem is that I don't know how to tell the system to open both of these encrypted partitions at boot, in order to boot the root volume. This worked fine under OpenSuse and I only needed to enter the Luks password once (it is the same for both partitions).
    As it is right now, my boot parameters in /etc/default/grub look like this:
    GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet nomodeset cryptdevice=/dev/sda3:sda3_crypt root=/dev/mapper/vg_arch-root"
    Currently the system boots, asks for the password to /dev/sda3, hangs for roughly 20 seconds and then kicks me into a root prompt. I can manually open /dev/sda4 at this point using cryptsetup and the system will continue booting normally... but I would like to have it set up properly, so I don't need to do that. Considering OpenSuse does this out of the box I figured it should be possible under Arch. Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    As a quick update in case anyone is reading this, I cleaned up the script a bit and hopefully made it something closer to a "proper" fix.
    Rather than editing /usr/lib/initcpio/hooks/encrypt directly, I did the following:
    cp /usr/lib/initcpio/hooks/encrypt /etc/initcpio/hooks/
    then changed the following section of /etc/initcpio/hooks/encrypt from:
    # Ask for a passphrase
    if [ ${dopassphrase} -gt 0 ]; then
    echo ""
    echo "A password is required to access the ${cryptname} volume:"
    #loop until we get a real password
    while ! eval cryptsetup open --type luks ${resolved} ${cryptname} ${cryptargs} ${CSQUIET}; do
    sleep 2;
    done
    fi
    to:
    # Ask for a passphrase
    if [ ${dopassphrase} -gt 0 ]; then
    echo ""
    while true ; do
    echo -n "A password is required to access the ${cryptname} volume: "
    read -sr password
    echo $password | cryptsetup open --type luks ${resolved} ${cryptname} ${cryptargs} ${CSQUIET}
    if [ $? = 0 ] ; then
    break
    fi
    done
    echo $password | cryptsetup open --type luks /dev/sda4 sda4_crypt
    echo ""
    fi
    then edited /etc/mkinitcpio.conf and changed:
    FILES=""
    to:
    FILES="/etc/initcpio/hooks/encrypt"
    and ran
    mkinitcpio
    This is working well for me and I think it's a little cleaner than the solution I posted earlier. Sorry for the awkward bash, if anyone has a more elegant solution please let me know.

  • [SOLVED] Running Systemd service on login (encrypted home partition)

    Hi,
    I have a dm-crypt/LUKS encrypted home partition that's mounted via PAM on login. I'm trying to use a systemd service (profile-sync-daemon), but the service tries to start and access the home partition before the partition is mounted. The service does seem to start successfully, but it doesn't gain access to necessary files on the home partition and malfunctions later on. Is there a sane hack to somehow delay the start of the service until the relevant partition gets mounted (basically after login)? Manually starting the service after login works just as intended in this case - I'm just looking for a way to automate this process.
    I have an idea of starting the service via Openbox autostart, but I've currently failed in my attempts.

    Things got quite complicated and hacky as I researched this so I went out of the box a bit (or took the easy way out, whichever you prefer) and reinstalled Arch with a full disk encryption. All is fine now and I also expect to see less problems overall in the future. If anyone wants to continue researching this it would probably be a good idea to start a new thread.

  • Encrypt - How to modify the encrypt hook ?

    Hi,
    I'm running Arch on a LVM on LUKS partition scheme.
    I use a key file to unlock the LUKS containers and I don't have any passphrases.
    So, I'd like to modify the encrypt hook to not ask for a passphrase if it doesn't find any key file.
    1) Do you have any ideas for a plausible error to return (text to write on screen) such as "Boot failure" or so ?
    2) How can I stop the boot in the encrypt hook ? Is there a way to return a fatal error or something like that ?
    Thanks.

    Either use Paragon's CampTuneX to resize it or use Boot Camp Assistant to remove the partition and restore the drive to one partition. Then create a new, larger Boot Camp partition. This will remove/delete/erase your Windows system.

  • Not able to resize and make a partition of my startup disk

    Hi, I'm running Lion on a late - 2010 15 inch MBP and I already have a Boot Camp partition of Windows 7. I wanted to partition my hard drive again to install Ubuntu (which should be relatively painless). I tried out the live CD to get a taste of what it would be like, and actually tried partitioning from there, which did not work. So I booted back to OSX and went to Disk Utility, selected my drive and tried to resize my Macintosh HD partition to make space for a 4ish GB partition for Ubuntu. I hit Apply, but then I get this error:
    Partition failed with the error:

       #:                       TYPE NAME                    SIZE       IDENTIFIER
       0:      GUID_partition_scheme                        *320.1 GB   disk0
       1:                  Apple_HFS EFI                     209.7 MB   disk0s1
       2:                  Apple_HFS Macintosh HD            285.1 GB   disk0s2
       3:                  Apple_HFS Recovery HD             650.0 MB   disk0s3
       4:       Microsoft Basic Data BOOTCAMP                29.1 GB    disk0s4
       5:                        EFI                         209.7 MB   disk0s5
    So what do I do so I can partition my disk successfully? I'm willing to backup and erase my harddrive completely to install Lion again, but I recently did that (well, a few months ago) when I felt that updating from Snow Leopard without a clean install was laggy. So I hope there's a way I can do this without doing a clean install again.
    Thanks a lot, and this is my first question so I hope I've provided enough info.

    I am experiencing the same problem and was interested in how this was resolved?
