Having a system with UEFI, what is the state of the art to use full disk
encryption? I read the article in the Arch Linux wiki [1], and it still
using GRUB. There is an blog post from 2016 using systemd-boot [2].
If your kernel or initrd are located on encrypted filesystem you need
bootloader that can read them.
And can systemd-boot read it?
If there was a way without LVM, I’d prefer that.
It has always been possible, the question is to which extent individual
distributions made it easy to setup. openSUSE Tumbleweed/Leap 15
installer finally offers native encryption of plain partition without LVM.
That’s great news. To my knowledge, the Debian Installer (Debian 9
(stretch)) isn’t able to do it.
Are there new programs or features in the systemd ecosystem making the
setup easy?
I'd say it is more initramfs implementation question - initramfs is
responsible for actually mounting your root.
What are the options? Initramfs and Dracut, right?
Kind regards,
Paul
