My work requires my laptop hard drive (running Linux) to be encrypted and from what I can tell TrueCrypt and LUKS seem to be the two major contenders out there.
In a "normal" system, if the system crashes (power gets cut, etc), it's easy to recover a corrupted system with fsck
. However, on an encrypted system, things become a lot more complicated.
Which of TrueCrypt or LUKS offers the best stability / recovery in an event of a crash?
Best Answer
LUKS seems to be the more standard tool (included by default in distribution installers, etc), so that's what I use.
