The partitioner "guided partitioning" offers me: - use the largest continuous free space - use entire disk - use entire disk and set up LVM - use entire disk and set up encrypted LVM I want "use largest contiguous space and set up encrypted LVM". That would let me reserve 200GB of my SSD as unencrypted free space, which will improve the write endurance of my SSD.
Alternatively, the installer allows to reserve free space in the encrypted volume group.
Also once I start partitioning, eg, "and set up LVM", I can't delete the partitions again.
The installer allows to delete logical volumes, volume groups and unencrypted partitions formerly used as physical volumes, but not encrypted volumes nor their underlying partitions.
