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.

    Yes it is great. For me snapper rollback was an awesome onboarding experience to linux. Being eager to try things I read online for tweaks and general explorarion it brought me back to a working system after some custom kernel compiling gone awry, or deleting the wrong file etc.
