I've been reading and rereading the tutorials at archlinux.org in order to do the install properly along with being able to customize the system. This is a virgin 2Tb 7200 rpm HD that the system will be installed to and there are no plans to share it with any other OS. Are any special alterations needed to support LVM? When I tried installing Centos alongside Mint on sdc, GParted said that LVM was not supported(anaconda insisted on creating it). Are there any advantages to LVM? Why would anyone want to run LVM over dm_crypt? I've been thinking of using GParted to manually partition the drive with this setup:
/ (20Gb) btrfs /boot (200Mb) ext2 /var (20Gb) Reiser /tmp.. (100Gb) ext2 /home (the rest of the drive) btrfs There seems no point in using a jfs for /boot and /tmp. Any comments or advice would be appreciated.
