I’ve been using Mint for a number of years and I encrypted the drive. An annoyance is I have two drives and the second one needs a different encryption and needs to be mounted seperately when I log in (besides if I tell it to automount with a saved password) I’ve been looking to change distros and finally chose one, this time though it uses BTRFS. I read over a number of differences but am not technical enough to know what it all means.
My question for now is with BTRFS, when installing the distro, can I tell it to use my second drive as an extension of the main drive so it all gets recognized as one, seamless?
I might be wrong, but isn’t encryption done at disk block level, and then the filesystem sits on top of that? Meaning that changing the filesystem to BTRFS will not change the fact that you still have 2 different decryptions to set up.
I have never thought about it but the thought gives me something to learn more about
