- Format a drive (or a file) to make it a LUKS volume: - Initialize a LUKS volume (overwrites all data on the partition):
`cryptsetup luksFormat {{path/to/luks_volume_to_be}}` `cryptsetup luksFormat {{/dev/sda1}}`
- Open a volume so that you can access it decrypted on the fly at /dev/mapper/{{a}}: - Open a LUKS volume and create a decrypted mapping at /dev/mapper/{{target}}:
`cryptsetup luksOpen {{path/to/luks_volume_to_be}} {{a}}` `cryptsetup luksOpen {{/dev/sda1}} {{target}}`
- Remove an existing mapping:
`cryptsetup luksClose {{target}}`
