Hi there! I am new here. I am trying to install debian on a VM to test it before i install it on my laptop. Since its a laptop i would like to encrypt the hard drive. I would also like to be able to return my whole system to a previous state or just my home directory.
I would like to ask 1. Whats the appropriate layout? My current layout is: LVM VG Laptop-vg LV root 16.9GB Linux device mapper (linear) #1 16.9GB f btrfs / LVM VG Laptop-vg LV swap 4.3GB Linux device mapper (linear) #1 4.3GB f swap swap Encrypted volume (sda5_crypt)-21.2GB Linux device mapper (crypt) #1 21.2GB K lvm SCSI1 (0,0,0) (sda) 21.2GB ATA QEMU HARDDISK #1 primary 254.8MB K ext2 /boot #5 logical 21.2GB K crypto (sda5_crypt) Should i make a different partition for /home/ ? 2.I will obviously make the / partition btrfs. Do i have to use btrfs also on my boot partition? 3.Is there any btrfs GUI program to manage my system on debian stretch or on debian buster? or i can only do this from the command line? Thanks in advance for your help
