Thank you for all of your answers! From what you answered and what I've been reading, it seems I have just one way to go (considering what I want to achieve, especially dual-boot):

veracrypt (https://www.veracrypt.fr/en/Home.html) - open source, free.
Available in binary form, does not require kernel modules, works on more
systems
than bestcrypt, I guess.
Works on both Windows and Linux, is powerful and featureful. I think I'm going to use it to encrypt my personal files (D:) partition.

If you used full disk encryption, you could maybe reduce the problem by just finding file systems that can be used on both OS's.
That could end up being native MS NTFS or EXTn with a windows driver.
How life is... less than a week ago, he was alive and answered a doubt of mine. Now, I can't talk to him... RIP John Andersen... : :-( : But if I understood him well, by "full disk encryption" he meant what VeraCrypt calls "partition volume". That is exactly what I'm looking for.
No, full disk is full disk, all the partitions. The entire disk. I don't know of a software solution for full disk encryption for both Windows and Linux. There is a firmware method, if the firmware supports asking for the password before booting.

exfat. supported via fuse, drivers on packman.
That filesystem is new to me. I need to search...
It is used on memory cards beyond 32 GB. NTFS is better for your use case, I added the info for completeness.
Agreed. ExFAT has a file size limit of 4GB - I got tripped up on that today trying to copy a 64GB file to a 128GB USB thumb drive that I didn't realise was formatted to exFAT - it failed with a write error at 4GB! Had to reformat the thumb drive as NTFS (it was going to be transferred to a Windows machine) and start again. [Unfortunately (even thought it was formatted as NTFS on a Windows machine first), when the copy was completed (from OpenSuSE Leap 42.1) and the thumb drive put back into the Windows machine it reported as a corrupted file system and couldn't be read. Never had that happen before. Ended up mounting a network share via smb and copying that way instead. ] Don't use exFAT if you work with (or might need to work with) files >4GB in size. -- ============================================================== Rodney Baker VK5ZTV rodney.baker@iinet.net.au CCNA #CSCO12880208 ============================================================== -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
