Hi list,

I have a USB external HDD that I would like to encrypt with a
passphrase. After looking into filesystems, I decided to go with Ext4.
What's the recommended way of encrypting a drive? Do I partition it
first, then encrypt that partition?

Internet searches lead me to LUKS & cryptsetup. However, the blog and
forum posts I've read are a bit old. I'm running Jessie.

Thank you!
