nice try NSA.

Yes you should, OP, and any good distro would by default - data from RAM is confidential and temporary so you shouldn't keep keys.

You have no clue how most of the modes work, do you.

I'd be very surprised if your filesystem has error correction coding (erasure coding, R-S, Raptor, whatever) by default, but if it did, it works absolutely fine under (say) XTS.

Of course your media, at a sector level, probably does but if we've learned anything over he last few decades it's that important data needs more redundancy than you think: look at the block level error rate of your media, and the number of blocks, and do the maths.

Didn't you ask this before, koma?
