[Trisquel-users] Re : I was wondering, if I did a full disk encryption,

[lcerf]

I do not know. I only encrypt /home (one box to click in Trisquel's graphical  
installer). I have not changed the system on a specific machine for many  
years: I now always install Trisquel when I buy it and then upgrade to  
Trisquel's next versions, when released. I guess it must not be hard  
(although it may not trivial either) to change the system and reuse the  
encrypted /home.

Now, I do not know how things work when several partitions are encrypted at  
once with a same password. Is it even possible without LVM? If not, can  
Trisquel's installer (or that of another another distribution) ask for the  
password and then install the system on some of the logical volumes managed  
by LVM? And is there much point in encrypting data out of /home? Some  
personal data end up in /tmp and be recovered with PhotoRec I believe...
