Hello,

I tried to reencrypt my device today and was way too eager to do it
without reading everything. Heres what I did:

'cryptsetup-reencrypt -v -c aes-xts-plain64 -s
512 /dev/disk/by-uuid/2ea1bb9e-a4a0-48c8-bc67-a694fa6c8cf7
Reencryption will change: volume key, set cipher to aes-xts-plain64.
Enter passphrase for key slot 0:
Key slot 0 unlocked.
LUKS header backup of
device /dev/disk/by-uuid/2ea1bb9e-a4a0-48c8-bc67-a694fa6c8cf7 created.
Data offset for detached LUKS header must be either 0 or higher than
header size (4036 sectors). Creation of LUKS backup headers failed.

So i thought well It didn't work so lets try again:

cryptsetup-reencrypt -v -c
aes-xts-plain64 /dev/disk/by-uuid/2ea1bb9e-a4a0-48c8-bc67-a694fa6c8cf7
Reencryption will change: volume key, set cipher to aes-xts-plain64.
Enter passphrase for key slot 0:
Key slot 0 unlocked.

Cannot get info about

Now it says that the device is not a luks device anymore. I do not have
a header backup (I'm an idiot) what I do have is the luksDump
information and I have not rebooted my system:

Now can I recreate the header so I can move my data before trying to
reencrypt again?

Please Help me and any Help is appreciated!
