Hi Jörg, of course that's possible. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Dm-crypt/Encrypting_an_entire_system#LU... describes exactly that process. In short, follow the Installation guide until step "Format the partition", and then use cryptsetup to create the encrypted layer on each partition you want to encrypt. Open them, and then create the filesystem on the encrypted virtual devices (e.g. run mkfs.ext4 /dev/mapper/<cryptdevicename> instead of mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdxy).

Hello,

i have one question. Is it possible to install ArchLinux on an UEFI System with full encryption BUT without lvm?

I found no tutorial to do this.

I also like to do this without grub.

But i don’t understand the differences between systemd / systemd-boot and bootctl. ☹

My english is good, but not so good. ☹

I am sorry for this.

Thanks for helping me

Mit freundlichen Grüßen
