Dependencies

This package uses the C library libcryptsetup for device mapping.

To install the required dependencies on Ubuntu run:

sudo apt install libcryptsetup-dev

Testing

A small test program is available in test/main.go. To build the program run:

go build -o test/crypt ./test/

Create a new crypt device for /dev/sdX and map it to /dev/mapper/volume01:

sudo test/crypt -source /dev/sdX -target volume01 -v 4

You can now interact with the mapped volume as if it was an unformatted device:

sudo mkfs.ext4 /dev/mapper/volume01
sudo mount /dev/mapper/volume01 /mnt/volume01

Close the mapped volume:

sudo umount /mnt/volume01
sudo test/crypt -c -target volume01 -v 4
