[tor-relays] cryptsetup some folders

[Duncan Guthrie]

Hi folks, 

I am not sure it is more secure. What are we trying to protect here? As long as the relay is running,it is unencrypted. Disk encryption only prevents physical access - are you at risk of this? At any rate, the relay shouldn't be storing personal data. 

Having it encrypted also makes remote management an absolute pain.
 
Can someone clarify this?
