That video describes exactly how I always set up encrypted laptops. Except I use lower case names for the logical volume names. Been working for me for many years now. I can't really comment about trim support. Until recent kernels it wasn't supported. Prior to Wheezy there wasn't enough support to enable it. With Wheezy everything should be in Stable. And Wheezy has only released today. Prior to this time my encrypted SSD machines have been running Squeeze without trim support and have been working quite well regardless. Although I am sure that properly working trim support would enhance it with faster performance. Bob
