Encryption
Reading BitLocker encrypted drives with dislocker
Suppose there is a BitLocker encrypted NTFS drive at /dev/sda2
.
First, create two mountpoints if they don't already exist:
mkdir /mnt/dislocker
mkdir /mnt/windows
The first mountpoint is where the special FUSE files will go. The second is where the BitLocker encrypted drive will be mounted to.
Then, open the drive:
dislocker /dev/sda2 -p -- /mnt/dislocker
Substitute -p
with the appropriate protector (see manpage).
Finally, mount the drive:
mount -o loop,rw,uid=1000,gid=1000 -t ntfs-3g /mnt/dislocker/dislocker-file /mnt/windows
The mount options are documented at mount(8)
