Hi once again!

Since I am sitting around and working with geli anyway, I thought I
might ask this question too. :-)

Are there any plans to make geli work in LRW-mode, possibly only as an
alternative to CBC? 

Now I haven't done any studies into the depths of these two modes but I
have read about both. As I understand it, LRW is the mode that was made
especially for encrypted file systems.

Regards
Chris
