Screenshot of terminal output:

I had no idea!
If anyone else is curious, it’s pretty much what you would expect:
cryptsetup -y -v luksFormat /dev/sda
cryptsetup open /dev/sda topLuks
cryptsetup -y -v luksFormat /dev/mapper/topLuks
cryptsetup open /dev/mapper/topLuks bottomLuks
lsblk
Then you can make a filesystem and mount it:
mkfs.ext4 /dev/mapper/bottomLuks
mount /dev/mapper/bottomLuks ~/mnt/embeddedLuksTest
I’ve tested putting files on it and then unmounting & re-encrypting it, and the files are indeed still there upon decrypting and re-mounting.
Again, sorry if this is not news to anyone else, but I didn’t realise this was possible before, and thought it was very cool when I found it out. Sharing in case other people didn’t know and also find it cool :)
we really ain’t making any jokes on the name of the drives? okay…
Actually the bottomLuks generates most of the power.
Speed has everything to do with it.
Well considdering it was posted by a user with the username “communism” i will assume bottomLuks
Communism doesn’t have hierarchy tho
Wouldn’t that be Anarchism/ Libertarian Socialism? Communism requires a state which is an implicit hierarchy.
No, anarcho-communists build their own systems of governments that are ruled from the bottom, without a hierarchy.
You dont need a hierarchy to have a State that works for the people
Yes, perhaps I should have named them
outerLuksandinnerLuks… oh well lol
