When starting Tails, [[set up an administration password|doc/first_steps/welcome_screen/administration_password/]].
Choose **Applications** ▸ **System Tools** ▸ **Root Terminal**.
Execute the following command:
lsblk
The output is a list of the storage devices and partitions on the system.
For example:
NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT
loop0 7:0 0 1.2G 1 loop /lib/live/mount/rootfs/filesystem.squashfs
sda 8:0 1 7G 0 disk
├─sda1 8:1 1 4G 0 part /lib/live/mount/medium
└─sda2 8:2 1 3G 0 part
└─TailsData_unlocked 253:0 0 3G 0 crypt /run/nosymfollow/live/persistence/TailsData_un...
zram0 254:0 0 2.8G 0 disk [SWAP]
Plug in your encrypted volume. Keep the encryption locked.
Execute the same command again:
Your encrypted volume appears as a new device with a list of partitions.
Check that the partition size corresponds to your encrypted volume.
NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT
loop0 7:0 0 1.2G 1 loop /lib/live/mount/rootfs/filesystem.squashfs
sda 8:0 1 7G 0 disk
├─sda1 8:1 1 4G 0 part /lib/live/mount/medium
└─sda2 8:2 1 3G 0 part
└─TailsData_unlocked 253:0 0 3G 0 crypt /run/nosymfollow/live/persistence/TailsData_un...
sdb 8:0 1 7G 0 disk
└─sdb1 8:2 1 7G 0 part
zram0 254:0 0 2.8G 0 disk [SWAP]
Take note of the *partition name* of your encrypted volume. In this example, the new device in the list is <span class="code">sdb</span> and the encrypted volume is in the partition <span class="code">sdb1</span>. Yours might be different.
