Hey,

I am planning to implement authenticated boot inspired from Pid Eins’ blog. I’ll be using pam mount for /home/user. I need to check integrity of all partitions.

I have been using luks+ext4 till now. I am hesistant hesitant to switch to zfs/btrfs, afraid I might fuck up. A while back I accidently purged ‘/’ trying out timeshift which was my fault.

Should I use zfs/btrfs for /home/user? As for root, I’m considering luks+(zfs/btrfs) to be restorable to blank state.

    I won’t be using RAID features as of now, and timeshift isn’t an issue for me. just an example of my fuckup 😅

    I’ve been using luks on btrfs for a couple years now with little issue

    What was the issue?

      The only issues I’ve had are a) learning curve using BTRFS and its associated utilities and b) difficulty differentiating snapshots. I learned REAL DAMN QUICK to give those guys descriptive comments like ‘snapshot before 2023-12-16 update’.
