Public bug reported: $ sudo luksformat -t vfat /dev/sdd1 Creating encrypted device on /dev/sdd1...
WARNING! ======== This will overwrite data on /dev/sdd1 irrevocably. Are you sure? (Type uppercase yes): yes Command failed. Could not create LUKS device /dev/sdd1 at /usr/sbin/luksformat line 58, <MOUNTS> line 19. luksformat gives this cryptic error if you enter a lower case "YES". This should point to an error saying: Command failed. Could not create LUKS device /dev/sdd1 because you need to type YES in uppercase. If there is a way to change the error "Could not create LUKS device /dev/sdd1 at /usr/sbin/luksformat line 58, <MOUNTS> line 19." to something more useful, it would be appreciated.
