Hi there. This may or may not be the best place to ask this, but I can't seem to find help anywhere else, so I thought I would ask.
I have begun backing up my /home to a LUKS encrypted external hard drive using rsync. I just got a second one external hard drive to do the same thing with, however I have come across something that I am not sure how to do. When creating my LUKS partition, two guides I followed told me to directly mkfs to the /dev/mapper/LUKS, whereas another told me to create a partition on it. I did not create a partition on it. What are the pros and cons to creating a partition on the decrypted drive? I would like to know which to do before proceeding with backing up my /home. Thank you very much. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
