Hey,

I am planning to implement authenticated boot inspired from Pid Eins’ blog. I’ll be using pam mount for /home/user. I need to check integrity of all partitions.

I have been using luks+ext4 till now. I am hesistant hesitant to switch to zfs/btrfs, afraid I might fuck up. A while back I accidently purged ‘/’ trying out timeshift which was my fault.

Should I use zfs/btrfs for /home/user? As for root, I’m considering luks+(zfs/btrfs) to be restorable to blank state.

    Do you use timeshift to back up data, or only system configuration?

      system config and system data are in my root subvolume, home directory, dotfiles, and some data that I want to be accessed at SSD speed are in my home subvolume. This all gets timeshift backup/snapshots. The rest of my data is located on spinning platter sata drives, which is backed up regularly using a different method (weekly rsync job that copies to a cold backup drive.)
