We only have hints which use cryptsetup. I'm not sure why cryptsetup never made it into BLFS, Perhaps no one got around to it. We've had hint updates for cryptrootfs in 2013. http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/pipermail/hints/2013-April/003308.html Nowhere in the hints does it warn to not use --with-capabilities with gcrypt, as well. As far as backends, cryptsetup 1.7 can use: gcrypt, openssl, nss, the kernel, and nettle. It may want gcrypt by default if it finds no other backends. Not long ago Tim had the same issue: http://archive.linuxfromscratch.org/mail-archives/blfs-dev/2015-August/030805.html which he also had this, too http://archive.linuxfromscratch.org/mail-archives/blfs-dev/2015-August/030808.html Sincerely, William Harrington -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
