Dear dm-crypt members,

Please teach me how to unlock the luks partition using valid keyslot.

My /dev/sda is crypto_LUKS partition volume, and xfs partition (/home)
is contained.
I got "Luks keyslot 4 is invald." message just after following operation.
(I use only keyslot 0, and I know the valid passphrase of course.)

My workstation is HP's Z820 with 2CPUs works gentoo linux.
Recently a fan seems having trouble, so I tried HP's Diagnostic CD,
booted from the CD
and executed diag tool.
The tool tried to write the result log "C:" drive, that triggered a tragedy.
The luks header must be corrupted at that time.

I do not have the backup of luks header, so I cannot unlock this
partition for now.

I found the site FAQ
(https://gitlab.com/cryptsetup/cryptsetup/wikis/FrequentlyAskedQuestions),
So I would like to request the clue to access the partition and data,
here this mailing list.

The debug output of unlocking operation is following...
---

The command blkid seems to be OK.
---
zucchini ~ # blkid -p /dev/sda
/dev/sda: UUID="30016d75-****-4c68-898a-************" VERSION="1"
TYPE="crypto_LUKS" USAGE="crypto"

The head of /dev/sda is following.

zucchini ~ # hexdump -C -n 112 /dev/sda

I also tried Arno's chk_luks_keyslots.
(http://www.saout.de/pipermail/dm-crypt/attachments/20120909/39ee1325/attachment.c)
The output was...
---
zucchini keyslotchecker # ./chk_luks_keyslots /dev/sda

Sectors with entropy below threshold (0.850000):

Keyslot 0: start:   0x1000

Keyslot 1: start:  0x21000
  keyslot not in use

Keyslot 2: start:  0x41000
  keyslot not in use

Keyslot 3: start:  0x61000
  keyslot not in use

Keyslot 4: start: 0x2d672c00
  keyslot not in use

Keyslot 5: start:  0xa1000
  keyslot not in use

Keyslot 6: start:  0xc1000
  keyslot not in use

Keyslot 7: start:  0xe1000
  keyslot not in use
---
The output message shows the addresses of keyslots, and
of keyslot 4 may be invalid.
(However, 0 seems ok ... I wish.)

So, how can I do for this situation?
Is it possible to access the partition and data using Keyslot 0 ?

Thanks, in advance.
