LVM vs Physical Disk Encryption

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]



I have a couple of question about Disk Encryption during an OS install. I
want to setup encryption on a system where I might have to enlarge the LVM's
by either adding another disk or by enlarging the disk size at a later date.
This is a VMware VM so just increasing the size of an individual disk is
pretty simple and then expanding the LVM on it.

Should I use LVM or just Physical Disk Encryption?
What are the benefits and drawbacks of them?
Should I do both?
In setting this up for the first time, I did both. Will that slow down the
system because it is actually encrypting everything twice?
If using LVM encryption and I add another drive to the LVM is it
automatically encrypted?

Thank You
Steve
