all 3 encrypted partitions will show only 2 keyslots in use (0 and 1), OR:
the first encrypted partition that used the "luksAddKey" command will now have 2 keyslots;
the 2nd encrypted partition that used the "luksAddKey" command will ...

I just ran the following commands to add the new passphrase to all 3 encrypted partitions and then rebooted.

sudo cryptsetup -v luksAddKey /dev/nvme0n1p3
sudo cryptsetup -v luksAddKey /dev/nvme0n1p4
sudo cryptsetup -v luksAddKey /dev/nvme0n1p5

The new passphrase worked at boot to unlock all 3 ...

Thank you Stuart, that is very helpful. I was obviously looking at a tutorial for luks1, not realizing there was a significant difference from the current version.

I quoted one line below where you mentioned 3 passphrases, but I have only one passphrase that works on all 3 encrypted partitions. It ...

I want to add a LUKS key, however when I run sudo cryptsetup luksDump /dev/nvme0n1p4 | grep Slot , it returns nothing. That makes me nervous to then run sudo cryptsetup luksAddKey /dev/nvme0n1p4 . Also, the original key was created when I ran the MX initial installation and is applied to 3 ...

Sorry, I did ...

Have you possibly not updated for some time?
Did you possilby update from a notification? A notification directly from Brave and not update via MX-Updater or one of MX's native updaters/installers, e.g MXPI, synaptic, etc.

No, that doesn't work either.

Your lack of a swap partition is cause for concern. There are a lot of folks touting the idea that with enough ram available you can forgo creating a swap partition or file, but the reality is that some applications still expect it to be there (even though it may never be used) and can give ...
