I posted this to https://gitlab.com/cryptsetup/cryptsetup/issues/292
but now I'm worried that might not be the appropriate place to ask questions.
I have a 12TB hardware RAID5 external hard drive array.
I had initially planned to only ever encrypt data to the device, but now I need about half encrypted and half not.
The device is `/dev/sdd`. It mounts as `fatty`.
There is no partition table.
# dd if=/dev/sdd | hexdump -C | head -1

# parted /dev/sdd

(parted) print
Error: /dev/sdd: unrecognised disk label
Model: ORICO H/ W RAID5 (scsi)
Disk /dev/sdd: 12.0TB
Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/4096B
Partition Table: unknown
Disk Flags:
As you can see LUKS starts at the first byte of the device.
There is a btrfs filesystem on the LUKS device and I resized it down to 4TB.
# cryptsetup status fatty
/dev/mapper/fatty is active.
type: LUKS1
cipher: aes-xts-plain64
keysize: 256 bits
device: /dev/sdd
offset: 4096 sectors
size: 23441764352 sectors
mode: read/write
# btrfs filesystem show /dev/mapper/fatty
Label: 'fatty' uuid: XXX-XX-XX-XX-XXXXXXXXX
Total devices 1 FS bytes used 2.75TiB
devid 1 size 4.00TiB used 2.80TiB path /dev/mapper/fatty
I can't really move the data anywhere, because it's too big and would require buying more hardware.
Is it possible to add a partition table without losing the data?
