If they had the spare drive space, I'd suggest shrink the existing partition in half. Make a new encrypted one in that new space. Copy the files over. Erase the previous partition, and either keep it for the next lot of jiggery-pokery, or expand your new one into the space. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -rsvp Linux 4.13.16-202.fc26.x86_64 #1 SMP Thu Nov 30 15:39:32 UTC 2017 x86_64 Boilerplate: All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
