- --disable-locks
-
Disable lock protection for metadata on disk. This option is valid only for LUKS2 and ignored for other formats.
WARNING: Do not use this option unless you run cryptsetup in a restricted environment where locking is impossible to perform (where /run directory cannot be used).
- --header <device or file storing the LUKS header>
-
Use a detached (separated) metadata device or file where the LUKS header is stored. This option allows one to store ciphertext and LUKS header on different devices.
For commands that change the LUKS header (e.g. luksAddKey), specify the device or file with the LUKS header directly as the LUKS device.
