I created the same scheme as Debian usually do for beginner (one partition for all) except I wanted a larger swap space. Now it ask twice for the passphrase. I have one partition (/boot sda1) + another partition (logical /sda5) I have one volume group I have two logical volume, one being the swap (16 GB) and the other one being my root (760 GB). Would 6 GB RAM + 16 GB SWAP be enough for a simple laptop used for copying files from my cameras and doing basic work on photo (the big stuff is done on my desktop). >> If we are talking about somehow using both LVM and LUKS >> in combination, then decrypting a single LUKS volume that >> has been partitioned into root and swap with LVM will only >> require one password given once to the init started by the >> initrd, when booting the system. >> > > This is why the encrypted LVM setup in Debian has an unencrypted boot > and swap is contained within the single encrypted volume, I think > >> Maybe providing the output of 'lsblk -f' would help to clarify >> the situation, so that we can see what is on the disk. >> I will do so... > > Hope this helps - all best, as ever, > > Andy Cater > -- Polyna-Maude R.-Summerside -Be smart, Be wise, Support opensource development
