- Format a drive (or a file) to make it a LUKS volume:
|
||||
- Initialize a LUKS volume (overwrites all data on the partition):
|
||||
|
||||
`cryptsetup luksFormat {{path/to/luks_volume_to_be}}`
|
||||
`cryptsetup luksFormat {{/dev/sda1}}`
|
||||
|
||||
- Open a volume so that you can access it decrypted on the fly at /dev/mapper/{{a}}:
|
||||
- Open a LUKS volume and create a decrypted mapping at /dev/mapper/{{target}}:
|
||||
|
||||
`cryptsetup luksOpen {{path/to/luks_volume_to_be}} {{a}}`
|
||||
`cryptsetup luksOpen {{/dev/sda1}} {{target}}`
|
||||
|
||||
- Remove an existing mapping:
|
||||
|
||||
`cryptsetup luksClose {{target}}`
