chat, how sane is it to repartition an encrypted SSD just to make room for a small FAT partition to store owner info?

(this is intentional. i'm carrying it to a chaos event and while I don't want them to access my data, I do want them to know how to return it, should I misplace it.)
@awoo is not better to mark it deep over the surface of the ssd case (scissors or similar unless is nvme...)?

@echedellelr could do, but it would require labels on both the SSD itself and the enclosure, sooo-

@awoo ah, is just a ssd with a case...
i thought that was the typical sandisk portable and such which cannot be opened without breaking the case and such.

@awoo is oki cutie mew
offers pats if wanted
Repartitioning encrypted SSD is not something I have seen supported and most guides if not all suggest to delete everything and create the partitions again with just the ones you want being encrypted.
