![]() LUKS is not aimed ad FDE, it is aimed at partition encryption. Who is responsible for locking the vast majority of LUKS – LVM users into the particular defaults by not giving them easy alternatives?Īp4:15 and LUKS are seperate projects. Wouldn’t it be relatively easy for the maintainers of the system installer to install a drop down menu to allow you to choose the encryption options you want, the way TrueCrypt does? (Hint: in such a case they could even allow an option to dispense with the SWAP file for those with adequate RAM.) It seems to be technically possible to partition the disk using LUKS – LVM with the options of your choice and then to do the install on top of that–but it is to say the least confusingly complicated and no one has ever published a straightforward cookbook how to do it. ![]() The problem with LUKS is that if you want to do an FDE using the systems installer at system install time in say Mint you are restricted to the AES defaults. ![]() Given the first-out-of-the-blocks comments by Anonymous1 & Anonymous2, Truecrypt must be good enough for certain parties to want to restrict its use as much as possible by trashing it (trolling) online.
