Hey,

I am planning to implement authenticated boot inspired from Pid Eins’ blog. I’ll be using pam mount for /home/user. I need to check integrity of all partitions.

I have been using luks+ext4 till now. I am hesistant hesitant to switch to zfs/btrfs, afraid I might fuck up. A while back I accidently purged ‘/’ trying out timeshift which was my fault.

Should I use zfs/btrfs for /home/user? As for root, I’m considering luks+(zfs/btrfs) to be restorable to blank state.

    I know they all show up in the same interface and I can move games between drives in the storage interface.

    But I don’t want to deal with having to shuffle things around to install a 40GiB game where both drives only have 30GiB free. Or having to remember which of the two drives has a specific game on when I want to find their files.

    It also gives a possibly-insignificant speed boost and extra cool points.
