What options are superior to XTS? As I understand it XTS does have some weaknesses, but is still the superior option versus LRW & CBC w/ secret IVs. I'm not aware of any other well supported block cipher modes other than those major three?

There is not really AFAIK. I was wondering if TpTacek had a recommendation.

It's terrible. Disk encryption in the cloud is going to be so easy to break though I suppose its better than nothing? whelp
