[Trisquel-users] LVM : xfs vs ext

[jbahn]

I am (again) trying to make a full disk encryption installation of Trisquel  
(8).

I just gave up on the method explained on libreboot.org  
(https://libreboot.org/docs/gnulinux/encrypted_trisquel.html). During  
installation the 'install software' step failed.

Now I am trying to use the automated method provided by the Trisquel  
installer, but I face two 'unknowns':

1) It doesn't seem that I can manually create a swap partition. Will it do  
that automatically?

2) The manual at libroboot.org and others instruct to use the ext4 file  
system, but the Trisquel installer uses the xfs file system.

What would you advise?
