[Bug 1756840] Re: Buggy, under-maintained, not fit for main anymore; alternatives exist

[Seth Arnold]

"Full disk encryption" doesn't actually mean the full disk -- it means a
specific block device, so you could leave your NTFS partitions alone and
encrypt only your ext4 partitions (and swap partitions, if you use
them).

You've got two real options:

- block device encryption such as via dm-crypt or LUKS
- fscrypt front-end to filesystem-native encryption

Probably a bug report is the wrong place to learn about the
alternatives. They serve different threat models and interact with the
user in different ways, and one or the other may be better integrated
into other tooling.

Thanks
