As it is BTRFS, just create a second dm-crypt volume and add that to the existing BTRFS. As BTRFS can span several physical volumes, creating one big partition isn't strictly necessary. If you use the same password and have "luck" that your dm-crypt setup-script in initrd/initramsfs opens both dm-crypt devices in one go, there shouldn't even be any discomfort by that solution. -- Matthias _______________________________________________ dm-crypt mailing list dm-crypt@xxxxxxxx http://www.saout.de/mailman/listinfo/dm-crypt
