Is there an unstable version of the installer that can be used to setup btrfs with luks yet? I’ve read a dozen tutorials but many are aimed at using Manjaro Architect as opposed to the regular iso’s. They also did not fit exactly because I am installing on a laptop with two 512gb ssd’s in it (swapped the dvd for a 2nd hd caddy) and ideally I’d like to use both in the setup with both encrypted. Bonus if I only have to enter a password once.
I realize I’m asking for the moon but figured I’d throw it all out there and then see what’s doable. I specifically was unsure about adding in the 2nd ssd with luks and using it as /home maybe where all the tutorials show it as a subvolume.
Hi,
I don’t think you need a special installer to use btrfs. I used the manual partition instead of automatic and I create an ext4 partition mount on /boot unencrypted and after you can use an encrypted btrfs mount on /.
Thanks for the replies. I did finally get btrfs installed then ran into some gotcha’s with creating a swapfile which I also finally resolved but was having random lockups on my very old laptop that were not occuring on regular manjaro so I reverted for the time being.
