| belak | Does the name of luks partitions need to be unique? | 07:33:10 |
| belak | Specifically the nesting of drive -> luks/lvm_pv -> lvm_vg -> partition is pretty frustrating, and naming is really confusing so I'm having a hard time following it...
Like if I have main (drive) -> crypted (maybe crypted-main or luks-main if it needs to be unique) -> main (maybe vg-main if it needs to be unique) -> root and storage (drive) -> crypted (maybe crypted-storage or luks-storage) -> storage (or vg-storage) -> data
This works, but there's a lot of duplication and the structure is relatively unclear unless you really dig into it.
Is there a better way to do that or best practices around luks?

| belak | Playing around with it and using :lf . to experiment, yes - luks names need to be unique | 08:00:50 |
| belak | I also prefixed my vg's with vg- because they end up as /dev/vg-main/root | 08:01:37 |

Playing around with it and using :lf . to experiment, yes - luks names need to be unique yeah i was gonna say the name ends up in /dev/mapper/<name> | 12:47:36 |
| belak | It was mostly that I wasn't sure if disko made combined names, similar to /dev/disk/by-partlabel, where it makes disk-{disk name}-{part name} labels | 18:19:12 |
