Re: Encrypt all partitions with dm-crypt

I'm interested in knowing what are some of the trade offs of using the LUKS header v not using the LUKS header.Since I assume the content of the encrypted data is secure, it doesn't matter if someone knows the data is encrypted and has a header and the header only helps in recovery, so I'm not quite seeing what would be an advantage of not using LUKS, but from the email below, there seems to be some reason.

That is fine. I am doing the same in some places.
