Dislocker
Dislocker is a driver to read and write Bitlocker-ed volumes under Linux systems.
Setup
On most of the Linux distributions Dislocker is bundled with the dislocker
package.
The installation of the mbedtls2 package as an open-source TLS library can be
of use.
Usage
Manual Mounting of Bitlocker Partition
For the mounting to work two directories
are required.
One to mount the dislocker-file (/mnt/bitlocker) and one to mount the
windows volume (/mnt/windows).
The device which holds the windows partition is assumed to be calles
/dev/sdc1.
The following command mounts the dislocker file to /mnt/bitlocker.
Make sure to replace the password in the following command.
There is no gap between the -u and the password:
sudo dislocker /dev/sdc1 -u<password> -- /mnt/bitlocker.
If the Bitlocker partition is set up using a .BEK file then the follwing
command takes the path to the file in:
sudo dislocker /dev/sdb2 -f <path to bek-file> -- /mnt/bitlocker
Alternatively a recovery key can be used:
sudo dislocker /dev/sdc1 -p<recovery password> -- /mnt/bitlocker.
Afterwards the dislocker-file can be mounted to the /mnt/windows directory
or another mount point as described in the
NTFS entry.
Automatic Mounting at Boot
Using fstab the partition encrypted with
Bitlocker can be automatically mounted.
The following lines have to be adapted and written into
/etc/fstab.
In this case the intermediary dislocker file dislocker-file is mounted to
/mnt/bitlocker.
UUID=<partition uuid> /mnt/bitlocker fuse.dislocker bekfile=<path to bek-file>,nofail 0 0
After that a line to mount the dislocker-file as a NTFS partition
has to be added as described in
the NTFS entry.
In this case the specified partition to mount is
/mnt/bitlocker/dislocker-file.
The mount point can be chosen according to preference - for example
/mnt/windows.
