[SOLVED] Encrypt HD after being mounted and installed OS

Hi. Is there any way that i can fully encrypt my HD while Arch is already installed & configured?

Just like LUKS does after partitioning (blackarch installation).

Thanks

Conversion tools - which is what you want - are really not recommended. Never used it , do a backup, encrypt and restore backup using rsync or tar method.
