Is /home on a > separate partition necessary? nilfs2 can be used as a root filesystem and it is bootable from recent grub2. I'm using nilfs2 for the root filesystem on my ubuntu-natty laptop. One restriction is that nilfs2 does not support swap file, so users need at least two partitions, swap and root. /home is not necessary to be a separate partition. > Lastly, can I encrypt a nilfs2 partition? nilfs2 itself does not support encryption. Instead, it can be used together with ecryptfs or dm-crypt.
