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
hesistanthesitant 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.
Luks+btrfs with Arch as daily driver for 3 years now, mostly coding and browsing. Not a single problem so far :D
that sounds good.
Have you used luks integrity feature? though it’s marked experimental in man page
I have the same use-case as @Duckytoast@sh.itjust.works. I didn’t test the integrity feature because it is my work machine and I am not fond of doing experimental stuff on it.
If you want to be sure you don’t loss data make sure you backup your keys.
