Hi,

I cannot change the key for LUKS - SSD LVM on Fedora.

    fdisk -l
Device           Start        End   Sectors   Size Type
/dev/nvme0n1p1    2048     411647    409600   200M EFI System
/dev/nvme0n1p2  411648    2508799   2097152     1G Linux filesystem
/dev/nvme0n1p3 2508800 1000214527 997705728 475.8G Linux LVM

tried:

cryptsetup luksChangeKey /dev/nvme0n1p3

the output:

Device /dev/nvme0n1p3 is not a valid LUKS device.

My old machine the command works fine!

Thank you

That command works fine with an actual luks device. Please post the output of ls /dev/mapper

You can now see your crypted partitions: /dev/mapper/luks-XXXX. It's recommended adding a new key 1st and then remove the old one.

Could you please explain more? how could I change the key now?

thank you

Apply the command in your original question to your luks partitions i.e. /dev/mapper/luks-XXXX. I'd suggest using luksAddKey instead of luksChangeKey
