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

@awoo i mean, i'd use a label on the outside for that?

but i guess it would work with the chaos clientel as well

(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@gts.apicrim.es can't you just. write info on it

@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.

@tauon I don't have a pen that can write onto plastics, and I also don't have a label printer.

so yeah I literally can't :neobot_shocked:​

@echedellelr yup, it's not a fancy proper external SSD, I can't afford those really-

@awoo@gts.apicrim.es also can't you buy this

@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.

@echedellelr oh it involved deleting all partitions and creating them all from scratch
