Hm. I can see your points. But I don't need the flexibility LVM provides, I have enough flexibility through Btrfs. And yeah, it's readily automated, and that's indeed practical for many people. Personally, I'd rather modify the start-up process a tiny bit so that GPT inside LUKS gets parsed. I just try to strip off unnecessary 'overhead' / layers of my system. > If you were on a system where you could add disks [...] Since it's on my laptop, I don't need that functionality :) Best Regards, Merlin -- Merlin Büge <toni@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
