I&#8217;ve replaced CTR encryption mode with XTS. Salsa20 stream cipher was also removed. CTR mode was inappropriate design for a filesystem, and allowed encrypted data to be easily manipulated by attacker and could even reveal plantext in cases when previous encrypted data snapshots where available to attacker, i.e. filesystem level snapshots.
