Hi #482092, I am pinging this bug because I would really like to see xts in wheezy. We (riseup.net) have been using serpent:xts-plain for our systems for both lenny and squeeze and it works great. Until now we have had to do some hacking to get d-i to set it up, * drop to a shell * wget the xts.ko and gf128mul.ko modules in the right dir * verify the md5sums of the modules * depmod -a;modprobe xts * echo "cbc-essiv:sha256 cbc-plain plain ecb xts-plain" > /lib/partman/ciphers/dm-crypt/ivalgorithm
We even hacked up a preseed early command hack to set this up because it was such a hassle. I think the xts kernel module (and hopefully the gf128mul module since it's a dependency?) are already included if I read this right, http://anonscm.debian.org/viewvc/kernel/dists/sid/linux/debian/installer/modules/crypto-modules?revision=19065&view=markup If so, then I think all that's needed is to add xts-plain to debian-installer/packages/partman-crypto/ciphers/dm-crypt/ivalgorithm Sound correct?
