Iwent back to try the LUKS format and got the same error as above. I tried to do the same with Veracrypt but after 12 hours the app said that it would take 8 days to finish the task. I went back to try formating with WDE+LUKS and got the same error. If I remember the sequence correctly I was able to format at this point, but the format was almost instantaneous. I then went into gparted and tried to format it through this but it said that I needed to delete the partitions (there were 2) before I could continue. When I went to try this again I got the following error: "Error wiping device: Command-line `wipefs -a "/dev/dm-2"' exited with non-zero exit status 1: wipefs: error: /dev/dm-2: probing initialization failed: Device or resource busy About halfway through we lost power (I live in a developing country) for a few minutes (I have no battery installed). I went into disks and started the Linux WDE with LUKS. I wanted to wipe it and whole disk encrypt it. Specified in the corresponding Arch Linux package.I have a 4TB Seagate HD attatched to my Lenovo Z580 Mint Mate 18.3.

Note that some filesystems and some partition tables store more This feature can be used to wipeĬontent on partitions devices as well as partition table on a disk device,įor example by wipefs -a /dev/sdc1 /dev/sdc2 /dev/sdc.
