Tip of the Week:

Use the fdisk command to find the device name for your USB Drive:

sudo fdisk -l

Install cryptsetup package on your system:

sudo apt install cryptsetup

Set up a new dm-crypt device in LUKS encryption mode:

sudo cryptsetup luksFormat /dev/sdb

Open the device and setup mapping with name provided (e.g. USBDrive in this example):

sudo cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sdb USBDriv

Verify the new virtual block device mapper:

ls -arlt /dev/mapper | tail

Run ext4 filesystem directly on that device:

sudo mkfs -t ext4 /dev/mapper/USBDrive

Mount the device your filesystem:

sudo mount /dev/mapper/USBDrive /USBDrive

Verify the the mapper is properly mounted using the df command:

df -h /USBDrive/
