I have been having some trouble getting your helpful script to work properly on my system. First off I am building a initramfs with gpg, luks and lvm and the keys are on a removable device.

mkifs-ll --gpg --lvm

this command seems to complete successfully. Upon restart of my system the script recognizes the removable device. The script then outputs this:

* Removable Device Mounted
* ROOT LV...
* ...encrypted rootfs.
* dev detached header doesn't exist.

It then drops into the minimal shell.

I have never setup or opened luks with the detached header option. Is it possible that the script that generates the initramfs is adding in this option?

Or perhaps there is an issue with my configuration? I have been looking through the scripts created for the initramfs and have found nothing that hints of a detached header....

Let me know what information or logs you need to further diagnose, thank you.
