when creating an encrypted partition, use the console whenever possible. there are enough reasons for that. the first reason is that you will save a couple of days(days, Carl!!) if you create a partition using the command "dccon -format <ptN> -raw -q -a -p <password_in_double_quotes>". the number in "ptN" can be found through the "dccon -enum" command, but it should be borne in mind that it will display only disks with volumes(it does not matter if they have file systems). and only after that, create a file system on an encrypted disk using the operating system itself. yes, DC is not VC, DC assumes that you have a telepathic gift and a desire to dig into the most unexpected things.
the second reason is that the GUI often crashes. and although i have not noticed any negative consequences from this, but this does not mean that there are none.
if there are several encrypted partitions on the disk, they are selected through the "5" boot mode(this is mentioned only in passing in man, since you are supposed to have a telepathic gift) in dcsprop. it looks something like this:
<config key="BootMode">5</config>
<config key="BootDiskID">4250605865</config>
the problem is that i haven't found any way to find out this magically ID(i don't have a telepathic gift!), except in the GUI, but in the GUI, the ability to select a specific partition for bootload lives its unpredictable life, and in most cases is blocked.
if bootloader does not want to be installed, giving an error that it is already installed, but does not want to be deleted, then delete the DCS folder from the EFI partition of this disk. telepaths can guess for themselves.
and more. in practice, you will not get the speed that synthetic tests like DiskMark show, do not even hope. in the best case, the speed will be three times less for linear reading, and four times or more less for writing
