I have an external usb hard drive (WD Passport 1 TB) formatted (encrypted) for my Mac. Even before I encrypted it, I could only read but not write from my linux pc. After encryption not even that.
I need a new external HD for my linux pc, the one I am currently using is getting too old and is FAT32 formatted (from when I was still using Windows).
Questions:
If I want to encrypt an external usb HD which filesystem should I use?
Will I be able to use it on a multiboot linux (no windows) pc when encrypted? (Will I just be asked for password before use?)
Are there brands that are recommended or that I should avoid?
thanx
