[Grml] loop-AES removed: PANIC

[Fog_Watch]

I downloaded Knecht Rootrecht overnight, booted it this morning and
thought I'ld just check whether it still contained loop-AES. It
doesn't. IT DOESN'T. AAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. First, Knoppix, now
GRML. PANIC.

Loop-AES is fast, efficient, cool, essential and all my software and
data sit on it.

Breathe deeply. I'm calming down now.

Please, maintainers, may I have loop-AES back?

Regards

AFAIK loop-aes is deprecated and you should switch sooner rather than
later to dm-crypt or luks.

loop-aes is not essential. It is afaik an external kernel module
and was never integrated into upstream.

You should switch to dm-crypt. For a starting point have a look at

jftr dm-crypt can mount cryptoloop:
