Switching to LUCKS would be very interesting. Qubes already uses LUCKS to encrypt my disk so every time I start my computer need to put a password just to uncrypt it. But can LUCKS work on a file container that I can copy and move? I investigated it time ago and found no way to do it. Is there a way to do that? Really that would be the solution.
BestFranzYes it can. Below is an example of how to create a 10MB LUKS volume in an image file that can be moved around
the same way you would move around truecrypt volume image file
Summary of below steps:1. create a 10MB image file2. create a LUKS volume on the image file3. open the LUKS volume.
4. put a file system on the volume.5. close the the volume.
6. ?????7. profit!!!!! :-)dd if=/dev/urandom of=luks.img bs=1024 count=10000
cryptsetup luksFormat luks.img
cryptsetup luksOpen luks.img luks
mkfs.ext4 /dev/mapper/luks
cryptsetup luksClose luks
Wow it works!! I cannot believe it was that easy. Also I was able to create a container called only test, without the .img extension to hidden the file among other files. Many thanks INK you are great!
I was breaking my head for nothing. Well it is easy when you know how to do it. Otherwise... Goodby to Truecrypt now.
And to make a 200 MB container?
Well many thanks indeed INK good night
