User:MintyTHPS/LVM on LUKS

Using LVM over a LUKS encrypted partition can be beneficial for security and convenience on a desktop system, as multiple partitions can exist under the LUKS container and be unlocked with a single key or passphrase. This also means that non-root partitions on the system such as /home or swap can reside under the encrypted LUKS partition.
