Encrypted user data

Is there any way to mount a VeraCrypt volume (on an external disk drive) in LE or are there any plans to implement this feature*? As far as I've seen there have been add-ons for VeraCrypt's discontinued predecessor TrueCrypt. Thanks and good weekend to everybody!

* as suggested here: cryptsetup luks/truecrypt/veracrypt/loopaes, lvm2 and probably dm-raid too (patches included)

No plans to add support, for the same reasons inevitably stated in any other thread on the topic of encrypted drives.

You can try my community build, but you need to mount manual on the command line. I have some scripts mounting userdata encrypted on startup, but they are not ready for the public.

Look here LE 8.2.5 with UHD 630 / Coffee Lake support and luks, lvm2, dm-raid

Thanks for your replies.

I asked because there were TrueCrypt-Addons in the past, but after reading your comment regarding the issue in another recent thread, @chewitt, of cause I fully understand the reasons.

Thanks also for your help, @sky42. By now I arranged things to work without encryption, but I'll stay attentive to any news from you or from other community members!

Best regards.
