First off the drive should be partitioned, possibly with fdisk
or cfdisk
. It should have atleast two partitions with one EFI System
Partition and one Linux filesystem
partition.
It should look something like this:
Number of partition | Size | Type |
---|---|---|
1 | 1 to 2 GB or more | EFI System |
2 | Rest of the drive | Linux filesystem |
Then to create the filesystem of the efi partition.
# mkfs.fat -F 32 -n efi /dev/<disk1>
And the encrypted filesystem of the root partition.
# cryptsetup luksFormat /dev/<disk2> --type luks2 --label luks
# cryptsetup open --type luks /dev/<disk2> root
# mkfs.ext4 -L root /dev/mapper/root
Other filesystems can also be used but ext4
is the standard for most linux distobutions.
