1. Probably a typo. Devices change depending on what system I was testing on when I wrote it.
2. Done. That spammer gets past the captka every so often and then gets filtered.
3. Never seen a situation like that. Might be specific to that media.
4. If you are going to do this, do not use LUKS for the "hidden" partition. LUKS has known headers and anyone to do a disk level examination will see it for what it is. On the other hand, if you don't use LUKS then it will appear as all random data end-to-end. Of course it will throw an error when swap tries to mount but you can probably ignore that and if questioned just say it corrupted itself somehow.
Thanks for the input and the compliment. Hope it works for you.
