HELP, luksFormat over existing container

["Konstantin V. Gavrilenko" <k.gavrilenko@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello list,

I have a problem :(

by mistake, instead of luksOpen I executed lukFormat on the loop device with associated cryptofile. 
even though the key is was the same, I have no backup of original luksHeader, so I assume i have no way of recovering the SALT.
I am pretty much in Acceptance that it is not possible to recover anything, but would like to get an external confirmation, advice.


p.s. surprised and disappointing that cryptsetup does not issue a warning when running luksFormat over luks preformatted container :(

thanks
kos
