Hello list. I want to add some more info on https://labs.riseup.net/code/issues/5705. For what it worths, cryptsetup supports Truecrypt since version 1.6 (currently available on Debian testing and not in wheezy-backports). I made some simple tests in Debian testing to review desktop integration. A user can open a Truecrypt container using cryptsetup in command-line with root privileges. I think that can be handled with sudo. Still, one could say it's complicated for the average user to fire up command line to open a Truecrypt container. That's a minus. As soon as the container is mounted, a new disk is shown up in Nautilus, so that's a good thing. User can easily browse, create or edit files inside the mounted container. That's a plus. Gnome Disk Utility seems not to recognize the Truecrypt volume as it does with say a LUKS volume. It just shows an unknown format's file with size equal to the Truecrypt volume, assigned at a loopback device. Hope I helped. Greetings. _______________________________________________ tails-dev mailing list tails-dev@boum.org https://mailman.boum.org/listinfo/tails-dev
