Is rump_cgd (block encrypted devices introduced ~14.05) still supported/operational in Genode 18.x? Issue #2224 mentions "not converted" in transition to new base API [1], and #2778 seems to have removed the 'tool/rump' script (which was handy to prepare encrypted volumes) [2].

it is neither tested nor actively used, so most likely it will not work properly. That being said, I rather see it removed than being reactivated in the future.

Thanks, Josef (and Sebastian). Given your reluctance to reactive rump cgd, what better alternatives would you suggest adopting or developing for disk and/or file-system encryption in Genode? dm_crypt, Veracrypt, CryFS, ... ? It would be nice to have a light-weight solution; maybe something could be integrated in libc_fuse?

rump_cgd has been removed with Genode release 17.11.
