So the encrypted home partition -- LUKS1 -- on my SSD will after a certain zypper dup be encrypted with LUKS2 ?
AFAIK, no, migration is not possible, you have to create the encrypted space again from scratch. Like formatting.
There's "cryptsetup convert --type luks2". Never tried it. I suppose a backup would be recommended.
Always and ever, but home partitions tend to have, like mine, hundreds of gigabyte and more. Reinstalling a system takes 90 minutes, but getting the home partition back is a completely other kind of sports.
Well, if you had your system running for more than a few months, getting root partition back with all configuration restored is more effort than just a simple reinstall. The migration path is still unclear to me. Multiboot systems would also be an issue - what if the disk is shared e.g. between a TW and a Leap installation? Will Leap get the LUKS2 support, too? Martin
