Jetson AGX Orin Disk Encyription Cons

Hello, I am using jetson agx orin. I want to apply the disk encryption specified in the link Disk Encryption — NVIDIA Jetson Linux Developer Guide 1 documentation, but I have some questions in my mind. Will I have any problems with disk access with this encryption and will it cause boot slowdowns etc.? thanks a lot.

Hi feyzaorak2002,

Are you using the devkit or custom board for AGX Orin?
What’s your Jetpack version in use?

If you have the key and password, then you can still access it successfully.

We’ve not compared the boot time before and after enabling disk encryption.
You can test them locally.

I use Rogue Carrier for NVIDIA® Jetson AGX Orin and my jetpack version is jetpack 6.

I also have one more question. When I want to access, do I go through separate access processes for each file and use key and password? Will encryption processes occur again for every place/file I want to access on the disk?

No, only the partition(normally, it’s rootfs) will be encrypted, and you don’t need to do that for each files.
