Yes indeed! :)
I'm no longer confused. Those examples made it quite clear what you
meant.
Thanks for explaining

Okay, hang on. Let's see if we can straighten this out.

Aren't you contradicting yourself here?
I don't mean to be rude, but you've managed to confuse me ;)

The main issue is obviously the filesystem.
As far as I understand it, both methods work 'atop' any filesystem that
the underlying OS supports.
Because I want both windows and linux support, this would mean vfat,
ntfs, or ext2(3,4??).

I'm planning on encrypting a 1TB usb-disc that I have, for
preserved storage.
I've been reading a lot about fde and the other various
