[Pkg-cryptsetup-devel] Bug#432150: Bug#432150: /sbin/cryptsetup: repair tools needed

[t takahashi]

i wish that i could help more.  i do still have the corrupted
partition (and the identical working one) and will try suggestions,
but will have to overwrite it soon.

the dm-crypt discussion was brief and afaik to the effect that the
header format is well documented, so if you have a similar header on
another partition, you repair the corrupted one by using dd for the
homologous parts.  e.g. 2007-06-08 07:41:52 GMT on the same url.

a web search reveals data corruption stories.  one person found that
strace enabled opening (didn't work for me).  there might be dm issues
in addition to dm-crypt or luks issues (brief scan of dm mailing list
subjects).  i am physically limited in computer use else i would give
you urls.

thanks.
