YaST installer forbids the encryption of root filesystem directly without LVM.
Ok, There must be a reason for that.. but I do not know..I only know that's the reason I do not use it :-)
Yes, that is has to be with LVM is also the reason I do not use it. Yes, the main hurdle has always been YaST, not initrd/grub. You just need a non encrypted boot partition, for the kernel and ramdisk, and some modules loaded on boot. An of course, something to ask for the password, but that one already exists. Previously YaST did not set any type of root encryption at all. When the feature was requested and implemented, it was thought that it was easier to set up a single LVM container with everything inside, except /boot, so that there is only one partition to ask for the password. The previous method was manual, without yast, and you can still use it - - but then, yast does not install it, nor upgrade, so it is a problem. The method to set it up is, basically, install on a normal partition, then move it... So, even if dracut or systemd make things easier, we can not use it . at least, AFAIK. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
