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?	07:34:23
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
ed209	In reply to @belak:matrix.org 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
