Hi to all,

I'm wondering how to create a DVD or CDROM encrypted using dm-crypt.
I've followed this tutorial, with no luck:
http://www.sourcentral.org/luks/iso9660/

and the DVD or cdrom created cannot be activated:

Hum. I created encrypted DVD years ago with a similar procedure,
somewhat simpler. Basically, I created an empty file of the same size as
the CD or DVD, mounted it as a loop device, then I encrypted that loop
device, and then I formatted the resulting luks device with any
filesystem type I wished, typically XFS.

This, so far, still works.

Then I just burn that file to DVD.

The final step is to mount and decipher the DVD - and this step failed,
but it was an XFS error if I remember correctly.

You cannot switch block size in XFS - if DVD reports 2k block and XFS
was formatted with 4k block device, it will never work.

It worked several years ago, I have dozens of DVDs made this way.


This is not a cryptsetup problem but the way how XFS works.

Try to run lsblk -t and compare reported sector size for DVD device and your
original device. If it is the same, it should work even for XFS.
