Adds support for LUKS detached header device on kernel
command line. It's introduced via extension to existing
luks.options 'header=' argument beyond colon (see examples
below). If LUKS header device is specified it's expected
to contain filesystem with LUKS header image on a path
specified in the first part of header specification.
The second parameter 'luks.data' specifies LUKS data device
supposed to be paired with detached LUKS header (note that
encrypted LUKS data device with detached header is unrecognisable
by standard blkid probe).
This adds support for LUKS encrypted rootfs partition with
detached header. It can also be used for initializing online LUKS2
encryption of data device.
Examples:
luks.data=<luks_uuid>=/dev/sdz
luks.data=<luks_uuid>=/dev/vg/lv
luks.data=<luks_uuid>=/dev/mapper/lv
luks.data=<luks_uuid>=PARTUUID=<part_uuid>
luks.data=<luks_uuid>=PARTLABEL=<part_uuid>
luks.options=<luks_uuid>=header=/header/path:UUID=<fs_uuid>
luks.options=<luks_uuid>=header=/header/path:PARTUUID=<part_uuid>
luks.options=<luks_uuid>=header=/header/path:PARTLABEL=<part_label>
luks.options=<luks_uuid>=header=/header/path:LABEL=<fs_label>
luks.options=<luks_uuid>=header=/header/path:/dev/sdx
luks.options=<luks_uuid>=header=/header/path:/dev/vg/lv
The '/header/path' is considered to be relative location within
filesystem residing on the header device specified beyond colon
character
