WiP: Archest Linux (EXT4 + LUKS2 - LVM2): https://codeberg.org/jarkko/archest-linux/src/tag/0.1.0-rc1 Boots to login and only minor glitches still left to fixup before tagging 0.1 š³
I like how unlayered this is, i.e. at most two subsystems layered and stack is at its heaviest a file system + LUKS2 volume (i.e. no one to many relationships). Less risk of busy file systems that cannot be unmounted at least :-)

But you know this WFM me best...

@mikebabcock and had no other choice than arch as ext4 is not favoured with this oddball combination choice of modern and legacy features. I do e.g. use snapshots but for that I use incremental backups to my NAS rather than pile them all over the place š¤·āāļøš£š„²

@mikebabcock Iām going to use lvm2 after all. There is a useful commands depending on it: e2scrub. So it is a constraint then.

@mikebabcock I also realized that it makes sense to have swap as LVM2 volume because I have essentially two different swap configurations depending on use and purpose: 2GB (non-hibernate) and 60-80GB (hibenate). LVM2 will help in this case later on tune between these choices a bit...

@mikebabcock I'm doing this partly to research what would be optimal configuration to enable hibernate, and possibly try out encrypted hibernate patch set, which never landed to the mainline. So I'm doing both reconfiguration for my host system and designing something for test target VM's at the same time :-)
One observation is that probably it is better to encrypt per logical volume than encrypt the physical volume because then the partition is reachable for so called restore kernel. I've previously encrypted the physical volume and created logical volumes inside it.

@mikebabcock i have zero plans to use hibernation in my hosts but i'm interested to test it as a kernel feature :-) and generally i want a common image that works for my host system and test targets (usually VM's ,sometimes NUC's).
