Question about disk encryption
There is also a thread on reddit about a similar topic.

BTW, I just need a mini how-to about disk encryption, it does not need to be in-depth or comprehensive but rather short and to the point, to allow anyone with a minimum of linux disk encryption knowledge to create encrypted memory sticks, USB disks, or partitions in minutes.
initial setup: -------------- cryptsetup luksFormat $DEVICE cryptsetup luksOpen $DEVICE $NAME mkfs.$WHATEVER /dev/mapper/$NAME mount /dev/mapper/$NAME /mnt/
closing: -------- umount /mnt cryptsetup luksClose $NAME
open: ----- cryptsetup luksOpen $DEVICE $NAME mount /dev/mapper/$NAME /mnt
done :)
