| Apr 3, 2020 at 15:28 | comment | added | CodeLurker | I tried guided and manual, as above in the ?. If I use the guided, encrypted setup in the graphical installer, I don't get a chance to reduce the size of the big partition, nor expand the size to be allocated to the swapfile. It's unrealistic. I tried to do it manually, as above, but couldn't come up with a similar setup, except with a bigger swapfile. I forget the exact problem. | |
| Apr 3, 2020 at 15:05 | comment | added | kemotep | No the lvm is inside the encrypted partition. I am sure you can do it the other way but the way I have done whole disk encryption is to create the LUKS then inside the LUKS partition create the lvm. You should be able to make the swap partition as big as you have space for. You are doing this manually right? | |
| Apr 3, 2020 at 14:39 | comment | added | CodeLurker | I told it to create a whole encrypted disk, with those directories all in the same partition. I was under the impression that the encrypted partition was inside the LVM volume, not the other way around. It worked, except the part that didn't work was that I couldn't ever receive anything but a microscopic swapfile. | |
| Apr 3, 2020 at 13:36 | comment | added | kemotep | To be clear, on a blank disk, using the Debian graphical installer, you created the LUKS encrypted partition, then created the LVM PV inside of that, and then created your LV partitions (root, home, swap) and none of that worked? | |
