WARNING!
This will overwrite data on /dev/sdb1 irrevocably. Are you sure? (Type uppercase yes): YES
any one face same type of issues if yes what is solutions for the same!!
I've found the easiest way to do encryption for partitions/drives on AWS is to use a third party management tool like enstratus which allows you to setup the encryption during the creation of the instance. You can either provide the AES256 encryption key or it can generate one for you.
Enstratus is chargeable on a monthly basis but the free account allows you to manage upto 5 machines without a cost.
