Disk partitioning, encryption, formatting

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 ;-)

  1. Partitioning ( more ... )
    1. fdisk / cfdsik
  2. Encrypt ( more ... )
    1. Generate keyfile: "dd if = / dev / urandom of = / path / file.key bs = 1k count = 2"
    2. Format: "cryptsetup luksFormat / dev / sdx / path / file.key-cipher aes-cbc-provided alternatives: sha256-key-size 256"
    3. Including: "cryptsetup luksOpen / dev / sdx-name key-file / path / file.key"
  3. Format
    1. Create file system: "mkfs.ext4 / dev / mapper / name"
    2. 5% barrier shrink: "tune2fs-m 0 / dev / mapper / name" ( 1 , 2 )

Another reason for Ubuntu

Yesterday I was amazed when I get a nice padded box with the word "ubuntu". Not that it was forever ago that I ordered the CDs, but it took just 2 weeks, have arrived to the five 32-bit, 3 and 2 Mac 64 CDs.

Here you can see again the convincing arguments can be given for changing from Windows to Ubuntu.

Since the blog now has a gallery feature, I would like gleichmal attach my first pictures.

Update:

Today is also the second Packet arrived. The contents: edubuntu and kubuntu CDs.
