I recently acquired a Raspberry Pi 5, but I’ve been having a lot of difficulty in getting LUKS encryption to work. Has anyone had any luck?

Also, I am using an NVMe drive, so Raspbian is really the only OS that works well. NetBSD can see the disk, too, but I found it annoying to use; and FreeBSD ended up breaking itself. I have not yet tried Armbian.

    Guess you are booting from USB stick or SD card, and then want to use the NVMe drive with LUKS ? I have a pi4 here which works fine with FreeBSD booting from USB stick, and then I’ve attached a USB drive and have Geli disk encryption on that which I am quite happy with. I don’t know how things are with FreeBSD and a pi5 though.Maybe it needs some time.
