I have here a small step-by-step instructions for partitioning, formatting and encryption of hard disks under Linux (Archlinux here) put together, because today I had to search quite a long time to integrate my new External ;-)
- Partitioning ( more ... )
- fdisk / cfdsik
- Encrypt ( more ... )
- Generate keyfile: "dd if = / dev / urandom of = / path / file.key bs = 1k count = 2"
- Format: "cryptsetup luksFormat / dev / sdx / path / file.key-cipher aes-cbc-provided alternatives: sha256-key-size 256"
- Including: "cryptsetup luksOpen / dev / sdx-name key-file / path / file.key"
- Format
