I'm attempting to encrypt an external drive when experiencing a freeze/crash:
After running in the sys-usb VM: sudo cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sda1 USBDRIVE001 <drive password> sudo mkfs.vfat /dev/mapper/USBDRIVE001 -n USBDRV1 the window becomes unresponsive. No application errors are visible. Also, the VM seems to be unresponsive as I cannot run anything else in that VM (and any other open windows beccome unresponsive too). If I have a certain amount of windows open in that VM (3?) e.g. 2 terminals and one file browser, the windows just disappear and the state of sys-usb in Qubes VM Manager turns yellow. At this point, I can only restart the VM, which seems then to operate normally. I tried it a few times and the last time I tried it I got an exclamation point in Qubes VM Manager under the state column for sys-usb. When hovering over it, it says: "qrexec not connected." As usual, restarting the VM works fine. I do not think I'm out of memory, as I have closed all other non-essential VMs and should have 8GB of RAM but might have 6GB (I don't know how to check physical RAM amounts without rebooting). The drive itself is 1.8TB. Is this a bug? Should I be submitting a bug in github or posting this on the dev mailing list? I need a next step.
