== Name
|
|
|
|
cryptsetup-luksSuspend - suspends an active device and wipes the key
|
|
|
|
== SYNOPSIS
|
|
|
|
*cryptsetup _luksSuspend_ [<options>] <name>*
|
|
|
|
== DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
Suspends an active device (all IO operations will block and accesses to the device will wait indefinitely) and wipes the encryption key from kernel memory.
|
|
|
|
While the _luksSuspend_ operation wipes encryption keys from memory, it does not remove possible plaintext data in various caches or in-kernel metadata for mounted filesystems.
|
|
|
|
After this operation, you must use _luksResume_ to reinstate the encryption key and unblock the device or _close_ to remove the mapped device.
|
|
|
|
*WARNING:* To avoid deadlock, never suspend the device on which the cryptsetup binary resides.
|
|
|
|
*<options>* can be [--header, --disable-locks].
