3. Is it ok to have swap and /boot on an encrypted LVM?
Never run encryption on swap. Doing so merely burdens performance. I doubt
even NSA, CIA, MI6 encrypt swap partitions on workstations.
I've never tried to boot from an encrypted /boot, so I really can't say if it
would work or not. Why can't/won't you create 3 partitions?
4:
[boot] 200MB mounted as /boot normal ext2
[swap] 1-8GB mounted as normal swap partition
[root] [1/3 remaining space] mounted as / [root] and encrypted however you like
[home] [2/3 remaining space] probably the most urgent for encryption
