Using cryptsetup I create the device.</div><div>3.

They would need to know my password.</div><div><br data-mce-bogus="1"></div><div>For this 128GB I think I'll make that sda1 larger so I can store a Ubuntu 16.04 iso image, Syslinux, and my bootable system. Use grub2 to boot one of those options. The rest is encrypted for my backups.</div><div><br data-mce-bogus="1"></div><div><br data-mce-bogus="1"></div><div><br data-mce-bogus="1"></div></div></body></html>
