Feature request for the distant future - Encryption

[simontravaglia]

Just thinking about it, it would be nice to have the ability to have an encrypted drive.
Maybe when you mount the drive you're prompted for a password:
Up/Down cycles through the alphabet for each character
Select Selects the letter and advances one character (which scrolls round on itself)
At the end/beginning of the password there's a so you can abort the mount.

For now you could use (Linux) LUKS. Just format it with cryptsetup as you would any block device.

I formatted a drive on it as a bitlocker encrypted volume on windows 10 and it's been working great that way as well.

Yes, I think I'll end up splitting the device into encrypted and unencrypted volumes as there's some stuff I want available to all platforms (i.e. media) and personal stuff I want protected. Ta
