I recently learnt that you can encrypt an unencrypted devices on-the-fly. Kinda neat. It is also resilient to hard interruptions like power-offs. See man cryptsetup-reencrypt. But if you want to replace the drive anyways, it may be faster to set up a new device and rsync the files in the last step. I always use these kinds of opportunities to weed out old cruft on my filesystem. -- Grüße | Greetings | Salut | Qapla’ Please do not share anything from, with or about me on any social network.
