RootFS over Encrypted LVM
Introduction
This guide does not replace, but is rather intended to augment, the Funtoo Linux Installation Guide.
This is a guide to setting up your root filesystem on encrypted LVM. When possible, this guide is written for continuity with the main Funtoo installation documentation.
Preparing your disks
The following is a sample (simple) partitioning scheme. You may want to choose differently, depending on your needs.
If you are using MBR booting:
/dev/sda1--/bootpartition/dev/sda2-- LUKS/LVM
If you are using UEFI booting:
/dev/sda1--/bootpartition/dev/sda2-- EFI System Partition/dev/sda3-- LUKS/LVM
Encrypting your disks
The most paranoid will advise you to write random data to your disk(s) prior to encryption, especially if you have previously used the disks.
It may be a good idea to do so if you have previously had data on these disks.
