LUKS without LVM conversion with data already stored
by PROBLEMCHYLD from LinuxQuestions.org on (#597XV)
Here is what my layout looks like
Code:GParted 1.1.0
configuration --enable-online-resize
libparted 3.2
========================================
Device: /dev/sda
Model: ATA CT500MX500SSD1
Serial: XXXXXXXXXXXX
Sector size: 512
Total sectors: 976773168
Heads: 255
Sectors/track: 63
Cylinders: 60801
Partition table: gpt
Partition Type Start End Flags Partition Name File System Label Mount Point
/dev/sda1 Primary 2048 206847 boot, esp EFI system partition fat32 /boot/efi
/dev/sda2 Primary 206848 468991 msftres Microsoft reserved partition unknown
/dev/sda3 Primary 468992 209766399 msftdata Basic data partition ntfs
/dev/sda4 Primary 209766400 794320895 msftdata exfat
/dev/sda5 Primary 794320896 899178495 ext4 /
/dev/sda6 Primary 899178496 962674687 ext4
/dev/sda7 Primary 962674688 976773119 linux-swap
========================================Mostly everything I read is telling me I need LVM which I don't have and don't want to risk the other partitions on my laptop trying to setup an LVM. I would like to add luks to sda5/sda6. They already have Slackware installed on them. I don't want to botch my system so detail instructions is needed. All partitions have data on them.
