Is there a way to encrypt a folder, which is not in /home but even in a different partition, so only my user can access/read contained files?
Alternatively, I would like to understand if it is possible to turn a complete ext4 partition into an encrypted volume, which would be mounted at user login.
If possible, I would like to make the change without reinstalling Ubuntu.
My PC has (mount output):
I'm a new Ubuntu user. I installed Ubuntu on my computer yesterday.
I choose my 2nd partition of hdd's mount point as /home and format type ext4.
Now, I can't see my 2nd partition or can't change format type the only thing I can do is choosing flag type from gparted. Do you have any idea how can i use it?
Trying to repair the usual broken Ubuntu I try chrooting following directions from this page However when I arrive to the mounting step where I need to mount the existing Extended broken Linux partition I can't because don't know the type and there are many. I tried ext, ext2, ext3, ext4 ... none work.
You will want type 0x83. It is the partition type for ext2, ext3 and ext4. Extended is used as a "wrapper" to allow more than four primary partitions. You can put several non-primary partitions in an extended partition.Here is my partition scheme:Disk identifier: 0x87b33479
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 * 2048
I tried using MiniTool Partition Wizard to format my android sd card, I split the first half to be fat32 and the second half to be ext4, when I do that though the ext4 partition doesn't stay... I even tried twrp to partition it, to no avail it said it wasn't able to create the ext4 partition but the fat32 partition was made successfully.
Hi,
I formatted my external SDCard with 2 partitions, so I could use it with Link2SD. Since I am on a Mac I only could format the first one, which is FAT32. Now I need to format the 2nd with ext4 but I can only do this from inside the phone. Which is no problem, except I do not understand where I can find the device, I need to format.
I have a secondary storage drive thats partition like below.
for the moment i havent free space yet
(parted) mkpart
Partition type? primary/extended? primary
File system type? [ext2]? ext4
Start? 60G
End? 62.9G
Warning: You requested a partition from 60.0GB to 62.9GB.

Yesterday I decided to convert my 522GB Win7 (NTFS) partition to Ext4 since my exposure to Win8 on another laptop had made me a 100% Ubuntu person.
This should have been simple. Use Gparted to Shrink the NTFS partition to nothing, create a new partition, format at Ext4 and that's it.
