No, cryptsetup is only used to _setup_ the encryption. The in-kernel facility device-mapper and its encryption subsystem dm-crypt is necessary for running a system.

If you don't have a problem, don't change it. -- Fruhwirth Clemens - http://clemens.endorphin.org --------------------------------------------------------------------- dm-crypt mailing list - http://www.saout.de/misc/dm-crypt/ To unsubscribe, e-mail: dm-crypt-unsubscribe@xxxxxxxx For additional commands, e-mail: dm-crypt-help@xxxxxxxx
