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.

    Oh, I misremembered… It’s only 7 disks in BTRFS RAID1.

    I have:

    • 12 TB
    • 8 TB
    • 6 TB
    • 6 TB
    • 3 TB
    • 3 TB
    • 2 TB

    For a combined total of 40 TB raw storage, which in RAID1 turns into 20 TB usable.
