Hey,

I am planning to implement authenticated boot inspired from Pid Eins' blog. I'll be using pam mount for /home/user. I need to check integrity of all partitions.

I have been using luks+ext4 till now. I am hesistant hesitant to switch to zfs/btrfs, afraid I might fuck up. A while back I accidently purged '/' trying out timeshift which was my fault.

Should I use zfs/btrfs for /home/user? As for root, I'm considering luks+(zfs/btrfs) to be restorable to blank state.

My experience with btrfs is "oh shit I forgot to set up subvolumes". Other than that, it just works. No issues whatsoever.

    lol

    I'm also planning on using its subvolume and snapshot feature. since zfs also supports native encryption, it'll be easier to manage subvolums for backups
