Previously I had found a really good article going over the options, but have since lost it and I failed to record it here. Instead I have very basic instructions to work off of, though they are good enough for general use.[1]
Basic Setup
NOTE : You should not apply encryption directly to the disk, instead it should be applied to a partition. I will update accordingly when testing is finished.
Using the standard options to get up and running quickly. This is more to prevent most people from accessing the data, but will not be sufficient to a determined attacker.
- In this example I will encrypt a large drive used for temporary backups. It will be auto-mounted with the OS at boot as the encryption is simply to make it easier to dispose of the drive if it fails.
- Setup luks on the disk.
- Create a key file
- Add key file to the luks partition.
- Test to make sure the key file works.
- Close the partition and update crypttab.

This will overwrite data on /dev/sdb irrevocably.
Are you sure? (Type uppercase yes): YES
