    Hello,

    I noticed that the latest version of Clonezilla doesn't detect my LUKS partition. seemingly because of the "-luks no" in the ocs-sr command when I go through the TUI configuration.

    I am doing a full disk-to-disk clone. I have LVM behind a LUKS partition.

    Is this intended behaviour?

    Thanks.

    By default if LUKS device is detected, the TUI of Clonezilla will ask you if you want to enable LUKS. If you say yes, i.e., "-luks yes", it will ask you to input the passpharase to open it (decrypt it). If you say "no", it won't open it
    Hence your issue is not related to "-luks yes/no", it seems your hardware is not well detected. You can give testing Clonezilla live a try, e.g., 3.1.3-21 or 20240823-oracular:
    https://clonezilla.org/downloads.php
    They come with newer Linux kernel so your hardware might be detected better.

    Unfortunatelly no question for password. It askyng me for yes, but no password required and instead of this no available way to enter password.

    @Tomas,
    Which version of Clonezilla live did you use? How did you use that? Please let us know the steps so that we can try to reproduce this issue.
    BTW, please also take some photos about the issues shown on the screen and share them.
    It will be easier for us to understand that.
    Thanks.

    Steven
