When it comes to to creating a dm-crypt/LUKS partition, one needs to generate an unformatted partition first and then encrypt it with dm-crypt and create the file system in /dev/mapper/ (see <https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Dm-crypt/Drive_Preparation>). Some quick and dirty commands; # partition=</dev/sd* id of partition>; ## set the partition to format # cryptname=<chosen name of luks container>; ## set the name of the decrypted container # cryptsetup -t luksFormat $partition; ## create luks/dm-crypt container # cryptsetup open $partition $cryptname; ## open the luks/dm-crypt container # mkfs.btrfs /dev/mapper/$cryptname; ## format container with btrfs # mount -o defaults,compress=lzo /dev/mapper/$cryptname <mount point>; ## mount container with compression Regards, Mark -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.22 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iF4EAREIAAYFAlMiNb8ACgkQZ/Z80n6+J/ZwQgD/TV2GtbeJHVBtqVnYeIM2vjfR MwsPXi3N2smxAVBloPMA/0OOgdw5QLg5bJdaf+5hvoz+LTESv3xcpGDzjvbCM+sc =ghMp -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
