I changed my comment somewhat, because you're being very squirmy, as per usual.

Do you think something like TrueCrypt shouldn't exist?

I'm not being "squirmy". You're playing a semantic game with the word "disk". The technical issue with FDE is that it works at the level of blocks, and so lacks information about message boundaries or the storage flexibility needed to (a) randomize the encryption and (b) store authenticators. Encrypt a physical disk, encrypt a file that pretends to be a mountable volume, same issues.

I get that not everyone understands the technical issues in designing storage encryption, but don't take that out on me.

Yours is a hilariously catty response to a fairly benign question.

Says the person who wrote "Are you really trying to suggest the world shouldn't have a tool like TrueCrypt out there?"

[diminoten]

Yes, that is literally the sentence I wrote, and a sentence you never responded to.
