Provisioning
First off the drive should be partitioned, possibly with fdisk. 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.
