Using LVM-on-encryption means that you only need one key (one password) to unlock the system. The alternative (encrypted LVs or partitions) would mean separate keys for each file system and managing that would be quite a task. So, while LVM can give you resizing, in this case it's being used for it's partition-upon-a-partition capabilities. > > > -- > > “True terror is to wake up one morning and discover that your high school class > is running the country.” – Kurt Vonnegut > > > -- > To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST@lists.debian.org > with a subject of "unsubscribe".
