No. Nativedisk solves some very specific problems. It's not for general use
Okay the reason I was asking is to help solve the problem of reliably finding
the correct device for a LUKS device with detached header. I previously wrote a
search by disk/part UUID/GUID module which returned the device when given the
disk/part UUID/GUID for either an 'MSDOS' or 'GPT' type partition or a
'biosdisk' or 'efidisk' with the partition types respectfully.
I now have a working search by disk id module for an 'ata' or 'usb' disk that
will return the device when given the disk id. I was also able to add these
commands directly to cryptodisk. And have successfully been able to mount using
insmod nativedisk
cryptomount --diskid ata-ST42443343DR_6GE23Y09-part1
If the user has a LUKS device with a detached header or plain dm-crypt device
would you consider that to be more of a specific use case?
