April 17, 2026 · One min read

XFA's Linux disk-encryption check now recognises TCG OPAL self-encrypting drives* alongside LUKS.

When drive locking is enabled on an OPAL-capable drive, the device counts as encrypted, giving administrators accurate compliance reporting for Linux devices that rely on hardware encryption.

Review your disk-encryption policy

_{*Detection covers TCG OPAL 1.x and 2.x drives reported by sedutil-cli. Non-OPAL SED variants (TCG Pyrite, Ruby, and Enterprise SSC) and OPAL drives whose locking has not been activated are not recognised as encrypted.}
