To be more specific, I have a LUKS volume on /dev/sda3.
I am about to reinstall LEAP 15.0 on /, which is on an entirely different disk. I will only redo /, and leave /home, etc. untouched.
Question is: will the "passphrase", etc. continue to work after the reinstall of the OS on /, or which of the following steps, (copied from SDB[0])
Unless you "initialize" the encrypted volume, it remains usable with the same password. The installer may detect it and add it during the installation; otherwise, you have to add it to /etc/crypttab and fstab.
cryptsetup luksFormat /dev/sda3
This destroys the volume and everything inside is lost. If you do this, you need a backup to restore data. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.1 x86_64 at Telcontar)
