So if you LUKS encrypt root, /home, and [SWAP], you would need to type 3 passwords during boot. The only exception would be if @/home was a logical volume under root, in which case it would be decrypted once root is decrypted.
So I guess the second password is for the swap, because the root partition should be handled automatically by GRUB passing the password to the initramfs.
Once other note: Since [SWAP] is encrypted, you may have difficulty resuming from a Hibernate sleep state if you ever put the system in Hibernate mode. Personally I'm not sure why anyone would do this because it's faster to boot the system from a shutdown, so this is really just an FYI.
It was available on the setup and I decided to do it because if the PC gets stolen while hybernating it could means data is in swap. On the other hand, I will probably remove it and replace it with a btrfs swap subvolume. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
