Hi!
I've just done a mistake while setting up an encrypted partition on an
external harddrive. (I wrote /dev/sda instead of /dev/sdaX). First I
didn't realize the mistake, because all works fine. It seems like I can
use unpartitioned device.
So I tried something like this:
echo $SECRET1 | cryptsetup -c aes-cbc-essiv:sha256 -h sha256 -o 68 -b
100000000 create crypt1 /dev/hdb
echo $SECRET2 | cryptsetup -c aes-cbc-essiv:sha256 -h sha256 -o
100000070 -b 100000000 create crypt2 /dev/hdb
and then I can mount /dev/mapper/crypt1 and /dev/mapper/crypt2 and work
with them without any problems...
Are there any problems or disadvantages connected with this?
I have already copied gigabytes of data to the external harddrive and
don't want to do this again....
cu,
Rudi
