Hi, I’m just starting exploring btrfs volume concepts; currently my testing setup has three subvolumes: root, var, home; is it possible have user home folder (I mean /home/user, not all /home) in a different partition? Thanks for suggestions

    I’m not asking this for limited space. My long term purpose is having just my home with granted space and luks encryption (and obviously decryption on login).

      Hmm, as in you only want your home-partition to be encrypted, nothing else? Because you can do filesystem encryption for the entire btrfs (including both root and home) and that works perfectly fine.

      Not sure, if it uses LUKS for that, but there’s an option in the installer for encryption…

      No, you’re just asking for free help and being a dick about it. Nothing is stopping you from learning and reading up this.
