This week I learned the hard way that you should always create a backup of the LUKS header on your encrypted drive(s). It got corrupted while rebuilding my RAID and unfortunately some issues arose. I lost access to several TB of data. Ouch.

I think I have some more grey hair now, but at least my unix beard grew a bit with this experience 😄
