My reasoning is simple, why do I need a different tool when there is already one that could do the task too? Usually the systems I get my hands on use already dm-crypt with cryptsetup in some way. So I have the tooling already in my initramfs, etc.. and need to adopt the callers of cryptsetup a little. If I need all of a sudden different/additional tooling, it means more work, more docs to write, more hassle with crypto/system reviewers, etc... I don't want you to force to use cryptsetup. The only goal was pointing out that it can be done with cryptsetup and that there is already code such that no work is done twice. One the kernel side it does not matter. Thanks, //richard
