To clarify this point better: VeraCrypt on Linux mount a container as if is a block device, most people do a mkfs on than mount point, but some of us do a full fdisk to divide it into partitions as well.
Yes, on Linux you can have a physical partition of type encrypted by VeraCrypt and when you mount it for example on /mny/MyVeraCryptPartition/ you can do a fdisk to that path and create partitions inside it Mounting a container (file or partition) on Linux is just as having a new block device where you can crwate partitions with fdisk when mounted.Mounting a container (file or partition) on Windows suppose the it will contain only one filesystem formatted as FAT32 or NTFS.Pre-Boot is only availabe for Windows System Partition.Linux version does not have pre-boot and so it can not encrypt (to be true can not boot) system partition.Linux version can encrypt a partition and with file containers you can also do fdisk inside them and divide into more than just one partition and format each of them with any Linux filesystem.Windows version wants FAT32 or NTFS as the format for the encrypted (inside container file or partition).Windows version does not like well having partitions inside a container file.That does not mean other partitions can be also encrypted, search for favorites in VeraCrypt for mounting your DATA partition automatically with a system encrypted partition.Īlso VeraCrypt can encrypt Windows & Linux partitions, and mount them, but with some points in mind: VeraCrypt system partition is just for Windows system partition.
