Hello,
Disclaimer: I have never used Clonezilla nor LUKS
"Many File systems are supported: (1) ext2, ext3, ext4, reiserfs,
reiser4, xfs, jfs, btrfs, f2fs and nilfs2 of GNU/Linux, (2) FAT12,
FAT16, FAT32, NTFS of MS Windows, (3) HFS+ of Mac OS, (4) UFS of
FreeBSD, NetBSD, and OpenBSD, (5) minix of Minix, and (6) VMFS3 and
VMFS5 of VMWare ESX. Therefore you can clone GNU/Linux, MS windows,
Intel-based Mac OS, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, Minix, VMWare ESX and
Chrome OS/Chromium OS, no matter it's 32-bit (x86) or 64-bit (x86-64)
OS. For these file systems, only used blocks in partition are saved and
restored by Partclone. For unsupported file system, sector-to-sector
copy is done by dd in Clonezilla."
So it seems to me appropriate that dd is used as you want an image of a
whole disk?
