One day cryptsetup will link to liblkid, adding two "use friendly" things in luksFormat - warn if it detects something on disk before destroying it - run wipefs to really destroy all the magic strings there (as Teo suggested)
So valid feature request also on the cryptsetup side, with the same low- priority though :-) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to e2fsprogs in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1713175 Title: fsck should check before running on an encrypted LUKS partition Status in cryptsetup package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in e2fsprogs package in Ubuntu: New Status in util-linux package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: fsck.ext4 runs on a LUKS partition and starts to correct inode entries, rendering the partition corrupted and useless. It seems like it should defensively check where it is an isLuks partition using "cryptsetup isLuks /dev/sda1" before continuing to modify it. I hope such a defensive check can be added.
