...and to be pedantic, I actually *did* spell the action correctly :) After evaluating this issue, there are no plans to address it further or fix it in an upcoming release. Therefore, it is being closed. If plans change such that this issue will be fixed in an upcoming release, then the bug can be reopened. |
Description of problem: If cryptsetup knows it's an action i got wrong, then why not offer a list of actions I can do, not six lines of advanced flags? If it's the advanced flags i'm looking for, I can 'man cryptsetup' [root@host-087 ~]# dmsetup ls cPV1 (253:2) [root@host-087 ~]# cryptsetup LuksClose cPV1 Usage: cryptsetup [-?vyrq] [-?|--help] [--usage] [--version] [-v|--verbose] [--debug] [-c|--cipher STRING] [-h|--hash STRING] [-y|--verify-passphrase] [-d|--key-file STRING] [--master-key-file=STRING] [--dump-master-key] [-s|--key-size BITS] [-l|--keyfile-size bytes] [--keyfile-offset=bytes] [--new-keyfile-size=bytes] [--new-keyfile-offset=bytes] [-S|--key-slot INT] [-b|--size SECTORS] [-o|--offset SECTORS] [-p|--skip SECTORS] [-r|--readonly] [-i|--iter-time msecs] [-q|--batch-mode] [-t|--timeout secs] [-T|--tries INT] [--align-payload=SECTORS] [--header-backup-file=STRING] [--use-random] [--use-urandom] [--shared] [--uuid=STRING] [--allow-discards] [--header=STRING] [--test-passphrase] [--tcrypt-hidden] [--tcrypt-system] [--tcrypt-backup] [--veracrypt] [-M|--type STRING] [--force-password] [--perf-same_cpu_crypt] [--perf-submit_from_crypt_cpus] [OPTION...] <action> <action-specific> cryptsetup: Unknown action.
