Right. I think I might have confused the necessity to have an initramfs |
| 8 |
for LVM and the need to have it for an encrypted root. |

OTOH, if you put /usr, /home, /var, /tmp and all the others on LVM, you |
| 11 |
could just leave the root partition unencrypted, as it wouldn't contain |
| 12 |
anything sensitive. |

I have googled a bit but I couldn't find any recent references for that |
| 19 |
except for a RedHat patch to 2.6.7. Specifically, e2fstools doesn't seem |
| 20 |
to mention online resizing at all. |

Could you give me a pointer? |

Any specific pros/contras? From the homepage it looks rather complicated |
| 33 |
(although I haven't spent much time on it yet). I'll look into it more |
| 34 |
in-depth. |

Thanks for the reply. |
