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.
This seems to suggest that btrfs does not support encryption at the filesystem level: https://btrfs.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/FAQ#Does_btrfs_support_encryption.3F https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Btrfs#Encryption Bob - -- Bob Williams System: Linux 3.16.6-2-desktop Distro: openSUSE 13.2 (x86_64) with KDE Development Platform: 4.14.3 Uptime: 06:00am up 1 day 6:16, 3 users, load average: 0.08, 0.12, 0.18 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 iEYEARECAAYFAlSS/xwACgkQ0Sr7eZJrmU4U+ACfZE24VPXRapNBknVFjHVntalg pbcAnA2ZT+lFo+BK5jLScXfPYHywAphn =95kn -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
