Good day. I am using disk encryption with cryptsetup utility in plain mode for some time. Whenever discussion of choice between LUKS and plain mode pops up (distro discussion, boot loader support, filesystem) plain mode is characterized as something which should be avoided (I have read the FAQ and my question is not about information contained in it). For example, grub team rejected patches for supporting plain mode (and other features like detached LUKS header) because it was considered as a "bad" feature (to be precise, the objection of grub team was that in grub v2 'grub-install' should autodetect everything which is impossible for plain mode). My question is folows: will dm-crypt and cryptsetup support plain mode encryption in future years? My question may sound somewhat extreme, but in recent years there were cases when big open software projects eliminated significant features and some portion of their user base. Thanks in advance, Best regards. _______________________________________________ dm-crypt mailing list dm-crypt@xxxxxxxx https://www.saout.de/mailman/listinfo/dm-crypt
