This is my disk layout:

500 GB Linux - BTRFS

100 GB Windows - NTFS

400 GB Storage - NTFS (shared between linux and windows)

I want to encrypt everything. For Linux I can use luks2 but what I'm supposed to do for Windows ? (No bitlocker please)

Will veracrypt replace refind boot manager?

I installed lots of OSs on my PC. The mistake I did was not backing up my EFI partition beforehand.

Now I deleted all the OS except CachyOS (Arch) and Windows.

Now I want to tidy up my EFI partition. I want to delete everything (even refind) except Windows and Default ones like OEM. (I am gonna reinstall CachyOS ) Can anybody please assist me?

I already deleted the obvious ones like ubuntu and fedora. Anything else?

I know this is not necessarily a linux question but anyways ๐Ÿ˜…

[SOLVED] Can I delete BTRFS snapshots from middle? in c/linux4noobs@lemmy.world
[โ€“] gpstarman@lemmy.today 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

If your snapshots are taken from your main subvolume, then they shouldn't be incremental backups

So other snaps from other subvols are incremental backups?

Can't boot into Luks2 + Refind in c/archlinux@lemmy.ml
[โ€“] gpstarman@lemmy.today 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I've used BTRFS with rEFInd before. It's worked just fine. So I don't think it's on BTRFS.

I installed CachyOS with BTRFS, LUKS2 , REFIND.

After successful installation I'm not seeing any prompt for password nor the linux boot entry on refind.

Note: I didn't do any lvm or raid.

What should I do?

Let's say i made 10 snapshots on top of the base.

Now can i delete snap no. 5? Will the snaps after 5 will be affected?

Solved

Yes, one can delete consecutive snapshots. The data won't be deleted unless all snaps ( reference points ) get deleted.

Note: If you delete the original file and delete all the snapshots made when the file is still there, the file will get deleted permanently.

Changing the location of BTRFS snapshots ? in c/linux4noobs@programming.dev
[โ€“] gpstarman@lemmy.today 1 points 1 month ago

Thank you.

I'm still learning how BTRFS works. I stopped using rsync because I don't have lots of storage. I also think btrfs is easier on disk read and write operations.

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking too.

Can I change the location of BTRFS snapshots. I installed CachyOS, and it automatically setup BTRFS subvols.

This is the layout ๐Ÿ‘‡

ID gen parent top level path
258 1773 5 5 @root
259 1601 5 5 @srv
260 1789 5 5 @cache
261 1785 5 5 @tmp
262 1797 5 5 @log
263 26 377 377 var/lib/portables
264 26 377 377 var/lib/machines
265 1791 377 377 .snapshots
266 1427 378 378 @home/.snapshots
377 1797 5 5 @
378 1797 5 5 @home

According to Arch wiki https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Snapper#Creating_a_new_configuration

Create a subvolume at /path/to/subvolume/.snapshots where future snapshots for this configuration will be stored. A snapshot's path is /path/to/subvolume/.snapshots/#/snapshot, where # is the snapshot number.

From which I understand that if I created a snap of /home (@home), it will save in /home/.snapshots (@home/.snapshots).

So, CachyOS configured to save snaps to separate subvol.

But, what I want to do is, Instead of just saving it in separate subvol, i want snaps to be saved on different btrfs partition. Maybe @home/.snapshots but on different partition.

Is that possible ?
