> In our case, LVM makes it easy to allocate virtual partitions inside an encrypted SSD partition. Is it really, though? The author is using LVM to manage "virtual partitions", but then it's using 100%FREE for the larger partition, and using ext4 for all partitions. In my experience this setup makes it actually harder to manage partition sizes, as before shrinking a partition a resize of the underlying ext4 partition would be necessary. Nowadays it would have been better to use one of the modern volume-managing filesystems. AFAIK the option available out-of-the-box in Arch Linux would be btrfs, but ZFS is another excellent (better, in my opinion) option.
