Today, after decrypting my encrypted drive, the system failed to boot into it.
I forget what the error said. It maybe said that it could not fine new_root or something.
I tried something like the following, by I don’t know what it does.
cryptsetup reencrypt --decrypt --header new_file device_path
I’m not sure what it does and what the --header part does. It was taking too long, so interrupted with a reboot. Now its saying their device is not a valid LUKS device.
Interrupting hard drive operations is REALLY dangerous.
Add to that the sensitivities of encrypted volumes, and I’m 90% sure your data is gone. Hope you had backups.
You’ll probably have to re-install.
