I'm currently installing Arch on my laptop (Thinkpad T400), and have decided for a rather unusual partition scheme: A single LUKS container directly on the disk (SSD) with a GPT partition table and two partitions inside it: one for SWAP, the other one for the system and everyting else, formatted with Btrfs.
Why is it unusual? Everyone does this: LUKS on a raw block device, then LVM or btrfs subvolumes inside it.
The laptop runs libreboot, so I have GRUB2 as a payload inside the flash chip which I use to decrypt the LUKS container and load a GRUB configfile located at /boot/grub/grub.cfg (generated by grub-mkconfig). This works fine.
Where is /boot physically located? Can grub2 boot from LV these days? Cheers, -- Leonid Isaev GPG fingerprints: DA92 034D B4A8 EC51 7EA6 20DF 9291 EE8A 043C B8C4 C0DF 20D0 C075 C3F1 E1BE 775A A7AE F6CB 164B 5A6D
