Base the lfs text, drawing on that main ref, with attrib o/c: that's
the suggestion; hence the link, & aux links.

I don't know what that means.

The configuration/use of cryptsetup definitely needs some text about
setting up encrypted partitions.  Any suggests about that will be appreciated.

Yes, I found several places that explain cryptsetup.  What I was asking is 
what words should *LFS* use.  Just providing some links is not really very 
helpful.  It sorta assumes I don't know how to search.

I don't use encrypted devices, so only one comment:

For volume_key the link givers a 404.  The following works for me:
https://github.com/felixonmars/volume_key/archive/volume_key-0.3.9.tar.gz
and it is .gz.

Thanks for doing the work.

[blfs-dev] Book additions due to udisks2

[Bruce Dubbs]

udisks2 added a new library requirement in the latest version.  This in 
turn pulled int the requirement for three additional packages.


These packages were quite involved.  They required adding kernel modules 
and a patch for an ancient dependency.


I would appreciate any review/feedback of the book's instructions or the 
functionality of the following packages:


http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/svn/postlfs/volume_key.html
http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/svn/postlfs/cryptsetup.html
http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/svn/general/libbytesize.html
http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/svn/general/libblockdev.html
http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/svn/general/udisks2.html

The configuration/use of cryptsetup definitely needs some text about 
setting up encrypted partitions.  Any suggests about that will be appreciated.


No, I did not enjoy doing this.  One minor change upstream required 
several days of work.
