Error on Full Disk Encryption documentation

Open frmoronari opened this issue 3 years ago • 3 comments

On doc for FDE, in pass to init Luks container, is mentioned to init /dev/sda1, but this is EFI partition. Correctly is /dev/sda2

This image show the error: https://i.ibb.co/P6MSywY/image-2020-12-11-19-02-12.png

Another that the partition needs type 8309 (Luks) and not 8300 (Linux filesystem).

Many of the examples are shown using Legacy BIOS Boot, not UEFI. We could include examples for both, I guess, but that'd be repetitive.

Yeah, can you have two separate full disk encryption guides for encryption, one for legacy and one for uefi? And at some point one for aarch64, if its possible?

What about substituting /dev/sda1 by a generic <cryptroot> placeholder? That also makes sure people think a bit about what they will format and don't blindly copy instructions that involve /dev/sda*...
