I would like to reformat my /home to btrfs, and I need it encrypted. But YaST disables the checkbox as soon as Btrfs is selected. Is there some particular reason for that?
I believe this has come up in the past. Some sites recommend not using the BtrFS own encryption for a variety of reasons. As I understand it, this is why suse has it disabled.
If you want an encrypted partition, regardless of the file system, d what I do: make use of LVM. Its stable and well proven and reliable. Encrypt the partition _underneath_ the file system.
Ok, I was able to install the system with encrypted ext4, then rsynced /home to backup folder, created btrfs on top of dm-0 device, rsynced backed up data back, changed fstab. Everything works as expected, now trying to do some simple file operations just to see if it will suddenly fail or something like that...
Reminds me of a flight out of Alaska in the dead of winter in perfectly horrible weather. The Flight was canceled at the last minute, and many were disappointed. When asked why the flight couldn't squeak out during a lull in the storm, the clerk at the flight window said, "If the pilot is afraid to fly in this weather, why in gods name would you want to go?"
