NAME¶
cryptsetup-resize - resize an active mapping
SYNOPSIS¶
cryptsetup resize [<options>] <name>
DESCRIPTION¶
Resizes an active mapping <name>.
If --size (in 512-bytes sectors) or --device-size are not specified, the size is computed from the underlying device. For LUKS it is the size of the underlying device without the area reserved for LUKS header (see data payload offset in luksDump command). For plain crypt device, the whole device size is used.
Note that this does not change the raw device geometry, it just changes how many sectors of the raw device are represented in the mapped device.
If cryptsetup detected volume key for active device loaded in kernel keyring service, resize action would first try to retrieve the key using a token. Only if it failed, it’d ask for a passphrase to unlock a keyslot (LUKS) or to derive a volume key again (plain mode). The kernel keyring is used by default for LUKS2 devices.
<options> can be [--size, --device-size, --token-id, --token-only, --token-type, --key-slot, --key-file, --keyfile-size, --keyfile-offset, --timeout, --disable-external-tokens, --disable-locks, --disable-keyring, --verify-passphrase, --timeout].
OPTIONS¶
--verify-passphrase, -y
--key-file, -d name
If the name given is "-", then the passphrase will be read from stdin. In this case, reading will not stop at newline characters.
See section NOTES ON PASSPHRASE PROCESSING in cryptsetup(8) for more information.
--keyfile-offset value
--keyfile-size, -l value
This option is useful to cut trailing newlines, for example. If --keyfile-offset is also given, the size count starts after the offset.
--key-slot, -S <0-N>
The maximum number of key slots depends on the LUKS version. LUKS1 can have up to 8 key slots. LUKS2 can have up to 32 key slots based on key slot area size and key size, but a valid key slot ID can always be between 0 and 31 for LUKS2.
--size, -b <number of 512 byte sectors>
--device-size size[units]
If no unit suffix is specified, the size is in bytes.
Unit suffix can be S for 512 byte sectors, K/M/G/T (or KiB,MiB,GiB,TiB) for units with 1024 base or KB/MB/GB/TB for 1000 base (SI scale).
--timeout, -t <number of seconds>
This option is useful when the system should not stall if the user does not input a passphrase, e.g. during boot. The default is a value of 0 seconds, which means to wait forever.
--header <device or file storing the LUKS header>
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-external-tokens
--disable-locks
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).
--disable-keyring
--token-id
--token-only
--token-type type
--batch-mode, -q
If the --verify-passphrase option is not specified, this option also switches off the passphrase verification.
--debug or --debug-json
If --debug-json is used, additional LUKS2 JSON data structures are printed.
--version, -V
--usage
--help, -?
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.
