Idea: Support creating new encrypted partitions on Linux using Dislocker

Open Googulator opened this issue 6 years ago • 3 comments

With fstab and write-through support now implemented, it should now be possible to create a Linux-native filesystem inside a BitLocker volume, and mount the rootfs from it at boot. With that, the last missing piece for using BitLocker as a fully cross-platform drive encryption solution should be the ability to create new encrypted partitions using Dislocker.

I won't have time to work on this, but welcome contributions to make it happen.

Sry for disturbing but this would really be THE killer feature! 🚀

@Googulator Not sure if this matters, but apparently Cryptsetup has full read/write support for bitlocker drives... https://gitlab.com/cryptsetup/cryptsetup

They might also have support for creating them, but I didn't read too much into it.
