Switching to LUCKS would be very interesting. Qubes already uses LUCKS to encrypt my disk so every time I start my computer need to put a password just to uncrypt it. But can LUCKS work on a file container that I can copy and move? I investigated it time ago and found no way to do it. Is there a way to do that? Really that would be the solution.
