I've checked the FAQ, but this does not seem to be answered there...
I'm creating an encrypted partition on a portable USB3 drive. The drive is
1Tb and I've allocated all on a single partition:
Disk /dev/sdb: 1000.2 GB, 1000204885504 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 121601 cylinders, total 1953525167 sectors
Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x9f0bf2e1
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sdb1 63 1953525166 976762552 83 Linux
Then I went on to create the LUKS encryption:
cryptsetup luksFormat /dev/sdb1
then open it:
cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sdb1 pjhomecrypt
now using status to see its properties:
cryptsetup -v status pjhomecrypt
/dev/mapper/pjhomecrypt is active.
type: LUKS1
cipher: aes-cbc-essiv:sha256
keysize: 256 bits
device: /dev/loop0
loop: /dev/sdb1
offset: 4096 sectors
size: 3752880 sectors
mode: read/write
Command successful.
I see there are only 3752880 sectors at 512 bytes, this is only about 1.8 Gb!
creating an ext4 filesystem on this, and mounting it shows the same...:
mkfs.ext4 /dev/mapper/pjhomecrypt
mke2fs 1.42.6 (21-Sep-2012)
Filesystem label=
OS type: Linux
Block size=4096 (log=2)
Fragment size=4096 (log=2)
Stride=0 blocks, Stripe width=0 blocks
117360 inodes, 469110 blocks
23455 blocks (5.00%) reserved for the super user
First data block=0
Maximum filesystem blocks=482344960
15 block groups
32768 blocks per group, 32768 fragments per group
7824 inodes per group
Superblock backups stored on blocks:
32768, 98304, 163840, 229376, 294912
Allocating group tables: done
Writing inode tables: done
Creating journal (8192 blocks): done
Writing superblocks and filesystem accounting information: done
mount /dev/mapper/pjhomecrypt /mnt
df -Th /mnt
Filesystem Type Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/pjhomecrypt ext4 1.8G 2.7M 1.7G 1% /mnt
So I only have 1.8Gb out of the 1Tb drive.
I've googled and can't find anyone with similar problems, so I must be
missing something here, though I haven't figured it out.
Can anyone help here?
